An auto tranny from the factory in a 41 Chevy is news to me.

If this is a factory install, the car would be a rare bird.
If an individual done this, it may have an Olds motor too.

I owned two 41 Chevy cars and to the best of my knowledge all that was offered was a manual trans.
Does it have an open driveshaft or is it a Closed Torque tube style. If it is an open or modern style drive shaft it is a refit. If it is still a 6 cylinder it maybe a later 235 CI engine with a cast iron Powerglide.
You need to post up some pics as inquiring minds want to know.[S

Holy thread from the dead!!

I saw this and thought maybe Charlie was back and working on that cool tub, I really liked where he was headed with it .... except the part where he was gonna take the front clip off and go fenderless with a '32 shell or something.
Don't know what ever became of him, he hasn't logged on in almost two years??
