Yes, TerryB I agree with you - I 1st pursued a 50 Chevy with power glide but it sold before I could contact him. I used to ride in those when I was in Jr High. Thanks a lot

Ok, folks, I DO APPRECIATE your info & input. I have driven standards throughout my life, but can’t decide if I want to go back to a std again, so wanted to research the options. How about Air Conditioning in a 48 coupe. Would that engine work with the aftermarket addons with big radiators that people put in STREETROD’s with 350 engines. Just wondering if those old engines could adapt to an AC compressor - probably NOT.

In a 48 model, if at a stop sign on an incline and having the car in third gear will it hold its position on that incline or do you need to be pressing on the brake & clutch ?

Thank you. I am considering buying a 48, but was hoping an option to change it to a type of automatic was possible. c49r just said 3 spd standard only. 50 yrs ago I had a 54 with a trans that could take off from stop in high, or use clutch & shift thru the gears. But I don’t know if there is any way to change one. Appreciate all info.

If not, can a later model tranny be installed

Did Dodge have Automatic transmission in 1948?
