Articles that I have read in several magazines indicate a switch around the 16th of February in '56. My car, S/N 567616, was built 2/21/56 and has a Torqueflite so it must be one of the very first.

Reply-To: mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx It seems that the change occurred around February 1956. I haven't seen any documentation as to the exact date or number of cars produced with each transmission.
