Period correct shifters?

[DW31S]

My favorite was the B&M chrome box with the shifter sticking out. Not 100% what the name of it was, but it just looked cool. I ran the Star Shifter because the car I built to race was a 307 Powerglide that was a trade-in at the dealership. I always liked the idea of the reverse pattern and a column shift auto. I weighed the pros and cons, and to make the Powerglide detent work and have a NHRA accepted Reverse lock-out, the B&M just made sense.
