In 1962 my dad bought a 1935 Dodge with an automatic clutch. I drove it a few times & remember the prominent chrome knob on the dashboard to engage/disengage the freewheel. When the automatic clutch began giving trouble, dad removed the mechanism & took it to the local Chrysler dealers to see if he could get replacement parts for it. They couldn't help him with the parts, but the guys at the dealership were fascinated to see the mechanism. I have attached a photo of dad standing alongside the car outside his sheet-metal factory in Fitzroy (Melbourne, Australia) in 1962..
