Default Automatic Shifter Options?

I have found custom leather boots for automatic shifts, but i was wondering if anyway knew a place to find custom automatic shifters, such as late 60 mustang/ford style or say jet throttle style. i just never really liked the generic top button style. so can anyone help?

There are a few out there that are pretty cool. Check with Mercury Mike. I believe he has a billet one and it is very nice.

MidAmerica sells an adapter that will let you use any manual **** with the A4. They also have their A4 ***** (3 styles) for 75% off right now too. I have the carbon fiber version in my Vette and like it pretty well.
