bluecollarbill Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I have a '35 Airstream c-6 Convertible coupe It has a later model transmission (we think its a '39) side case numbers on transmission transmission and a manual overdrive unit OD unit side case numbers on OD unit top case numbers on OD unit We would appreciate it if anyone has any insight into these units - particularly if you have any spare parts or experience working on them. We believe we have figured out how the OD unit works - but have no information on adjusting it before installation Thanks in advance Bill Stanley wjstanley@cox.net 203.215.8585 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Bluecollarbill, Please don't be offended by this, but have you given any thought to adding a pinstripe to you wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecollarbill Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 Hudsy I like that idea - not sure what color it would be ? Body color ? Red ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red with the green might be a little too much like Christmas. What would you think of something in the yellow (not too bright) to honey-beige spectrum? On second thought, Maybe a set of beauty rings would be better.

bluecollarbill Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 I like the idea of something in the yellow spectrum - and I may have a set of beauty rings I could try too. I like the look of them on that Dodge - that looks like a '37 hub cap - I have a '37 Business Coupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful when you experiment with the rings, they could scratch up your pretty rims pretty easily when you go to remove them.

But the transmission should be similar to 1936-38 applications. 1939 used an electric solenoid on the overdrive unit.
