Talk:Ultramatic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There ia a statement in the Ultramatic topic that Packard was the only independent (non-Big Three) automaker to develop its own automatic transmission. This is incorrect. Studebaker developed its own automatic transmission, marketing Studebaker Automatic Drive beginning in 1950. This is noted, among other places, in the Wikipedia article re Chrysler's PowerFlite transmission: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerFlite .
