1969 Hurst/Olds Features 'His and Hers' Shifter

The 1969 Hurst/Olds is notable for its 'His and Hers' shifter, also known as the Hurst Dual Gate. This unique transmission selector allowed drivers to choose between automatic convenience and manual-style control. The Dual Gate design featured two separate channels, operating like a conventional automatic on one side and allowing manual command of shifts on the other.

This technology, although outdated today, paved the way for modern solutions that mimic the experience of manual shifting. The Hurst/Olds is a rare collector's item, and its 'His and Hers' shifter remains an interesting example of innovative design in the automotive industry.
