..... I'M JUST SAYING.
That seems so GM
Admitely the better solution than the more modern featureless knob you have to look where it currently was.
That or a knob where you feel the position.
For our younger audience: this is from when the show Cheers was popular, that's why there's a "Norm" setting.
Pretty sure this was the exact control panel my mom's 80s Ford Econoline van had.
Yup. You can move the levers to one extreme and blindly gauge where it's supposed to be. Also: each of these things provide additional feedback (fan direction, speed, etc) so you don't even need to memorize detents or positions for stuff.
I will say that the temp lever, over time, gets very sticky and hard to move. Other than that: it's good design.
