Right around then was a design change wasn't it? The whole style changed didn't it?

Ok, I had to google it, but at least NOW I remember. They went to four square headlamps over and under style from the round ones.

(Hint: It's in the front half of the vehicle)

The VIN plate?

Hi,
I went outside & checked the neighbors 83 truck, against some pictures of an 82, & the difference that I see is,
the turn signals moved from in the bumper, to in the grill.

Hi,
What was the first American auto. to offer an automatic transmission.
Rich

Well I was thinking full automatic. And Oldsmobile was the one

[Joe G]

Without googling, I'll guess 1939 Oldsmobile.

Model T had a planetary gearset with a wrap around clutch much like any AT and shifted by foot action that in my mind constitutes an automatic transmission. But even the Duryea had, I believe an in/out crash box and chains.

Hi,
I was thinking full automatic, Oldsmobile is correct, with the hydromatic, closely followed by chrysler, but chrysler's weren't full automatics.
