The 3 speed PUSH BUTTON Torqueflite Transmission
Heres a quick story that is a fact
Ford was so impressed with the Torqueflite that it attempted to quietly buy the rights to manufacture a sort of "copycat." The story, however, was quickly picked up by the automotive magazines. Ford reportedly had paid Chrysler $7.5 million, which was a big chunk of change in 1957! The direct result was the 1958 Ford built "Cruise-O-Matic". Ford called the Torqueflite "The greatest automatic transmission in the world".
THIS IS THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE
