I was born too soon for all of this automatic stuff. My '37 had a three speed floor shift with freewheeling overdrive. Being a teenager, I liked to hot rod it and I would shift it through all six gears manually. It was a lot of fun but not too practical. The car had enough torque that it was all just showing off.
