Take your average driver, somebody between the age of just learned to drive and not yet able to buy beer. Now, let's see what this newly fledged driver has never seen in a car and will likely never see in a car in his or her lifetime.
I will start..
Three on The Tree shifting
Manual windows

I'm considerably older, like 20 years older than your age group, and I've never seen a three on the tree, other than the occasional car show.

Never mind three on the tree, the average one won't ever see three (pedals) on the floor.
Cassette Decks
Spark advance/retard on the steering wheel. 
Floor mounted starter button.
Manual pull choke on the dash.
6V battery.
Those high beam buttons on the floor

too soon :(
Cigarette lighters.
8 track players.
GMs annoying multi-function wiper, cruise, turn signal, stalk.
A lot of the things listed those of us in our 30's have barely seen, the only car I had with a manual choke was my old rx7... And that car was built the year I was borned.
In reply to joey48442:
Good point, i'm in my 20's and i've never seen an 8 track player, in a car or not. Never seen one in real life.
I do drive an old van that came with a cassette player and has the floor mounted high beam button, but it still has power windows! 
They still work, too. well, mostly.

That surprises me, I'm not much older than you and my first car was a 1980 pickup with a 3 on the tree.

Or floor vents.
Something with a carburetor.
Come to think of it, i've only ever driven something carbureted 3 times in my life... even my "old" E150 is EFI.
Carburetors
Lack of safety nannies.

I have owned cars with all of those things, and I miss all of those things.
My dads 76 GMC pickup had an 8 track player, so did our gigantic home stereo that also had a turntable and was as big as a dresser. Get off my lawn!
Bench seats for the front are getting rare.
Sealed beam headlights
Dash mounted ignition or wiper switch.
