Thanks for the explanation, I always wondered how the VW system worked.
The SAAB Sensonic was quite interesting. I remember reading a C/D article on it, but unfortunately, they managed to break it. They were trying to do sort of the equivalent of a brake-torque AT launch on it... they floored the throttle and then jammed it into gear; ouch!
Ah, three-on-the-tree, a trip down memory lane. Didn't know that some Ramblers had automaticatically activated clutches! Do you remember the pushbutton automatic? Which car had that, was it a Chrysler?
IIRC, one of the first cars to feature ABS was a 60's Chrysler.
More trivia: some Asian-market-only Mitsubishi L300 vans still feature column-mounted manual shifters (but they're "five-on-the-tree")
