That's not a dash mounted shifter, just a position indicator...
There were some old Chrysler products that had a push button shifter on the dash, but that's clearly not one of them.
What is it?

That car has a driveshaft and the exhaust is from the front.
But it has a Torque convertor on the rear of the trans Axle with IRS and the only vehicle I remember seeing like that was the old `62-63 Rope drive Pontiac Tempest.

That's my guess and I'm sticking to it.

Ahh from a glance I thought I was looking at engine oil pan and rear diff right next to each other, hence my guess.

I'd have to agree with most of the people on here. 1962 Tempest.

Who remembers the references to the independent rear suspension Tempest in the movie "My Cousin Vinnie"?

Interesting.
