Were they removed or am I missing something?

At first, I thought the other photo was frost.  Look forward to seeing more photos of your finished restoration. 😀

Same seller, same item, same price, says its for the '56 MoPar line: https://www.ebay.com/itm/325409378465

This Imperial site also shows cables available (scroll down): https://www.imperialservices.net/Cparts.html

You may try Andy Bernbaum or someone like that. If you call and they don't have one, maybe they can tell you who might. Otherwise, another used cable might be the best option, but you might have to seal the end as those cables are prone to leaking at the transmission end.

I found this thread that may be of some help as well: https://desoto.org/community/technical-articles/1956-powerflite-pushbutton-adjustment/

And thank you!

I told him to send it back because I felt the price was way too high.

I then sent it to Speedometer Service Co. at 6916 Maran Way in Fountain, CO 80817 and he repaired it for around $300 and included a new cable. I highly recommend this company in CO. The phone number is 719-632-3165.
