It's called a Prestomatic hydraulically-controlled transmission.

This post reminds me of a couple of old local cars I located. 1 was sitting in a forest rotting for 50 plus years. I could have used it as a parts car. It was about a 9-10 hours drive away, 1-way. I needed to rent a trailer to go get it. Hotel, meals, etc. I considered my costs and made the seller a fair offer. He refused. So, off it'll probably go to be scrapped. Netting the seller less cash than my offer.  I guess some people think that an old mass produced Mopar is going to "Pull in big bucks. And darn it, if not... I'll get even and crush it!" 

 

Another one, a 1949 New Yorker straight 8. Been sinking in a field since about 1972. Vandalized. Rotten mold. No glass left. I don't even own a NY'r but I thought I could part it, out and help out a few guys who need parts. Maybe make a couple extra dollars to fund my old car project. I got a quote for a tow truck, and made an offer. Seller refused. That was over 2 years ago. It still sits rotting in the same field. When I looked at it, it was sunk up to the axles. I suspect it'll sit until mother nature has taken it all back.

 

It's unfortunate that this car above was sent to the crusher. It had lots of good parts on it. With low demand for regular old cars, and freight prices being so ridiculously high, it's understandable. The seller needed it gone. It could have literally taken years to dispose of most of it, by parting it out.

Kings32,

Is there any old guy wrecking yards around you?

It sounds like you are ready to give it away, if you could find someone that would make some sort of use for it even if its them making the few dollars that it may bring with some effort.???

How about offering it up on Craig's List at next to nothing? You would at least get the scrappers to do the work for you.

Maybe make a deal with a neighbor kid to now your lawn for it. (it looks pretty straight, some young kid could easily fall in love with it).

There are ways to get someone else to do the work when you simply want it gone.
