>I have 1362, I go by Lastpushbutton at the PI site. I know it's not really the last. As far as I know Dennis Yogi has the last one 1385. Here is a link to 1387 and it is definatly square handled.

>>Mike Drew,
>>
>>As far as later push buttons, the ProvaMo Registry has (photos of) a number
>>of cars leading up to 1383 (all being push buttons) and 1387 (and later)
>>being a square-door handle car.
>>
>>Naturally cars sat around, and inventory was mixed.
>>
>>Somewhere I have photos of the "back yard" of DeTomaso.  As cars came in
>>from Vignale they were lined up.  It was definitely LIFO (Last In First Out)
>>for each of the rows.  So a car at the back could be there a while before
>>being pushed to the line and finished.
>>
>>Anyway... Just from the photos ...1342,
>>1343,1350,1351,1355,1357,1362,1363,1364,1365,1371,1373,1378,1382,1383 are
>>all push buttons...
>>and 1387 and on are "squares".  I would have thought there would be a few
>>"transition" squares among the pushbuttons near the end.
>>
>>For amusement, 1024 has squares.... But it's history documents the change to
>>the later style.  I have, but don't remember the number of a much later VIN
>>that has push button doors.  
>>
>>So based upon photos from the Registry I put the transition between 1383 and
>>1387.
>>
>>Someone on the PI board has the handle as "The Last Pushbutton".  I think
>>his car is #1362, but the registry has, what 8, or so cars higher than that,
>>with photos showing them as push buttons.
>>
>>As the Registry grows more will be learned.  Just one "factoid" benefit from
>>the effort.
>>
>>Does anyone have photos of a car in this range (1384-1386) to better narrow
>>it down???
