As usual, Nate wins the prize.
At the age of 16 working as a pump jockey at the corner gas station, I remember driving an early 60s SAAB 96 with a three cylinder two cycle engine and a four on the tree transmission. It also had an overrunning (freewheel) clutch on the output of the transmission r endering engine braking useless. Pretty scary machine the first time you drove it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "nathan hall" <nathan.h...@lacity.org> To: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2013 9:05:56 AM Subject: [old-chevy-truck] FOUR On The Tree I remember a variety of Euroean cars with column shift four speeds trannies , Saab and Morris chiefly .
