[FC] floor shifter in a factory 1961 FC ???

I was assuming he was referring to the single bucket seat.
Did not have a manual out to look at the picture...........

I thought that Bill was asking about the shifter going through the floor 
rather than under the seat (area in this case).  Am I baffled again?  I had 
previously wondered about that same picture.  Did those (had to be very
few) 
manual shift with bucket seat FCs have a shifter that went through the
floor 
instead of the infamous "mystery" shifter?
Later, JR
