Hated the lousy floor-mounted dimmers and was ecstatic when I got my first car with a stalk-mounted dimmer switch. In the salty northeast, the floor-mounted dimmer switches always rusted and would fail at the worst possible moment. Penetrating lubricants that I used to free them up would soak into the carpet and stink for weeks. The smell would be especially strong when the heater was running.
The screws that held them into the floorpan would be yet another place for rust to start creating brown lace.
Good riddance to them, along with manual chokes, thermostatic heat risers, distributor points, and fabric-belted bias-ply tires
