There is a shift linkage on the car.
There's a shift interlock for the automatics that prevent the car from being taken out of Park without a foot on the brake pedal. That wouldn't be possible without there being a shifter linkage.

BlkXfire04,
Did you try the shifter interlock over-ride process to get the car out of park when this happened to you?

BC.
