Someday I would like to have an automatic trans.  The limitations of the '46 manual are TOO MANY.  So the question bounces around every now and then.  My dad's '56 Olds had to be manually shifted into "Passing Gear".  Would a later model auto work by manually downshifting?  Anyone have a setup like that?
