Talk:PowerFlite
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is somewhat misleading. While it is true that Chrysler was the last of the Big Three to offer a FULLY automatic transmission, it DID offer a semi-automatic transmission (usually called "Fluid Drive" even though its numerous versions and modifications had individual names) through the 1940's and into the early 1950's.
Powerflite became available on ALL Chryslers late in the 1953 model year, not just on Imperials.

I have added some information about gear selector patterns and Chrysler's reasoning behind them. I have also discussed the fact that PowerFlite did not have a "Park" range.
