My father had a '57 pontiac with the 4 speed automatic. I never drove it. Too young. He also had a '60 Cadillac with the 4 speed automatic. A 390/325 engine. Certainly a heavy car but alot of fun to drive. I could power brake that car and squeal the back tires easily. That car was pretty quick for what it was. Raced it a few times and did well considering. I often wonder why they did away with that 4 speed automatic?? Was in troublesome?? Anything had to be better then the Chevy 2 speed Powerslide. I know they use them for racing, but I never liked them. I don't know why it took them so long to come out with the TH350 and 400, Carmine.
