My first car was in 1980 and it was a 1972 Plymouth Duster. I should have never sold that car. The Fury is pretty cool, and I'm just going to go Plymouth!

If I went to a car cruise and didn't see a 57 Chevy, I would really feel let down.

Always wanted a Packard! This was the first car with an automatic transmission and lots of other innovative technology! Wasn't well accepted and I believe it
was done in 1958!

WRONG! & so am I......
As we learned, automatic transmission was based on technology first developed in the early 1900s by German manufacturers of marine engines. However, it was not adapted for automobiles for several decades. In 1938, General Motors developed the first line of cars to sport automatic transmission -- Oldsmobiles that offered "Hydra-Matic drive." The cars were introduced to the public in 1940. In 1941, Chrysler followed suit and introduced three different cars that offered their version of automatic drive, "Vacamatic" (later called "Fluid Drive"). Automatic transmission was a fairly common option on most American cars by 1948.
We steered over to the official Oldsmobile site to learn more about the innovative line of cars. In the History section of the site, we found an interactive timeline that offered a bit more information about Hydra-Matic drive:
It provided true clutchless driving with four forward speeds. Its fluid coupling between engine and transmission eliminated the clutch and its ********** foot work. Olds made the breakthrough Hydra-Matic available on all models for only an extra $57.
Not only was GM the first to market with automatic transmission, according to Chrysler's site, Vacamatic was really only semi-automatic. It featured four speeds and wo...

Not only was GM the first to market with automatic transmission, according to Chrysler's site, Vacamatic was really only semi-automatic. It featured four speeds and would switch automatically between the two lower or two higher gears, but the driver needed to use the clutch to switch from a lower gear to a higher gear or vice versa.
So there you have it -- in this race, Oldsmobile was the clear winner

I always liked those big fins on the cars. Another one I liked too was a later Bel Air. I was born in the early 60s and I remember these cars:

I pick the Bel Air, the Starliner, and the Dodge Custom Royal. I also wouldnt mind a 57 Fairlane, just not the convertible. I would rather have the one that had the big glass roof, like my grandmother had.

In 1957, a new Corvette was about $3,600.00 In 1970, you could still buy one for $4,000.00. In 1971, I bought an immaculate '57 Chevy Belair 2dr. ******* for under $500.00. (I wish I still had it !)

I could add more to the list. When I was turning wrenches, I maintained 4 Studebakers for 1 gentleman. Two were show cars and the other 2 were for show. I maintained a beautiful 58 Chevy Bel Air convertible convertible for another customer. We also had a large variety of 60s muscle cars we maintained. My father raced 55 Chevys at a small racetrack in Houston during the late 60s and early 70s. Times were good.
