They turn up on Ebay and at swap meets from time to time, but they're pretty rare.  The speco unit is comparatively common.

How do they work?  There are two different types, a regular H pattern and the "straight-through" that you mentioned.  See this thread.

Here's an original ad for them:

straight line  are a great shifter in good condition but when they have a bit of wear they jamm easily going from reverse to first,(means getting under car and setting linkages back to neutral position)  to get it unjammed,the Impala H pattern is a very nice and close pattern only have to move shift babout 4inches for each gear change.
