I owned a 1969 Dodge Polara 4d hardtop with A/C, pwr windows, and Vent windows. I guess anything goes.

I know it's listed as a big block manual trans column shifted...but was that even possible from the factory in a C body in 1969, or is this a custom? Either way that's neat as heck but if it was mine I'd hafta modify it into this.

In 69 and 70 only, you could get a 3 spd column shift (only, Never a 4 spd)
Plymouth /6, 318
Dodge 318, 383
Chrysler 383

Were there any advantages to a column shifted versus on the floor? Besides not being able to have a front bench? Not only have I never driven a car with column shift, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one ! I’ve driven lots that had floor shifters though.

You can have a floor shifter AND a bench seat.

You can have a floor shifter AND a bench seat.

That would be interesting for the one sitting between driver and passenger!

3 on-the-tree and a fuselage! I bet this would be a fun car to drive/own.

As others have mentioned anything is possible. I can’t find anything that says power was available with ventless in 69 but seems intuitive to me that power windows had to be available on both types of windows.
