I'm not quite sure of the years for the turboglide, but my dad had a 61 wagon, 348 with trips, turboglide.  This was kind of a weird trans.  You would start out in low gear and end up in high gear, but it never really shifted.  Sort of a variable ratio low gear.  Pull out from a dead stop, mash the throttle, instant RPMs that held fairly constant until the vehicle speed caught up with the engine.  Larry is right in that they were problematic.  Dad had his trans repaired three times in two years, and he did not drive the car hard at all.

I thought the turboglide was only from 58-62 ? I know they had lots of
problems.
