Re: hyrdromatic automatic transmission

I believe Hydramatic was first offered in GMC trucks in 1952 but I don't know for sure. I'll be pulling the engine/tranny out of my car sometime this spring. I'll have pictures then.

Here is a great article on the Hydramatic transmission. Lots of good info.

Re: hyrdromatic automatic transmission

Just dug an ad for my Nash car with a picture of a Hydramatic out of my computer. Not sure if that's what you're looking for or not but here it is.
