   Yup, but this didn't happen until the late 1930s or so.  And even today,   
   I keep reaching for the windshield wipers on my wife's car and turning on   
   the headlights inadvertently because the controls aren't in the same place   
   as on my car.  The pedals are all in the same place, but my reverse gear   
   is up and to the left and hers is down and to the right.   
      
   Still, it's a lot less than the difference between a 1920s Plymouth and a   
   Model A.  Standardization has come a long way.
