remember when
I started driving in the late 50's so I grew up with the muscle cars of the 60's and 70's. I never had a true muscle car but did have some big V8's. Back then you either had a stick or a 3 speed auto...

It used the GM Hydramatic, strange thing though even though it was close to 6k# it took off in second instead of first suppose to make it smoother taking off. Some other weird things about the car, a/c sat in the trunk with vents blowing out the roof. Had a front and back heater that could be operated independent along with left and right. Power seats and a radio that could switch stations by a button on the floor. Had a starter motor that was connected to torsion bars to make the ride hard or soft. Had a button on the dash you could push to give the car a Greece job, cartridge went in the trunk.
Yeah, OLDSMOBILE!
That's the one I couldn't remember!
I also forgot about Lincoln using the Hydramatic. It is difficult to imagine, FoMoCo buying a GM tranny for their "top-of-the-line" brand!
