Changing gears is either an absolutely central or a nearly involuntary part of driving a car, depending on whether you’re in full-attack, de-stress mode through a challenging set of twisties or merely in brain-off commuter setting. Either way, nothing better highlights the sheer physicality of driving, that sacred man-machine interface, than the humble shift knob. There’s probably no other control that you’ll operate as much in a lifetime, so it might as well be topped by something special. In that spirit we’ve selected a handful of lovely vintage, NOS, and racing-style knobs here for your perusal.
