Transmission fluid for a 55

["Dick Benjamin" <DickB@xxxxxxxxx>]

I should have specified that this (Dexron/Mercon) assumes your manual calls
for "AT/AQF" or "Type A" Transmission fluid, not motor oil, which some early
Chrysler products used in their first automatic transmissions. I think in
1955 they had gotten over that phase, but you should check that.
