Re: 1938 Super 8 1605 - adventures with a newbie

Hello Kevin, I have a 1603 and a 1605. I notice that your Owner Registry description specifies overdrive. Is this correct? Have you or someone fitted a 39 Super Eight R6 trans to the 38 1605? Just curious as I was thinking of doing this to my 1605. Have included a pic of my 1603, which is a formal sedan but not on a 1604 chassis. It has been freshened up but not restored. It has 94,000 miles from new. Nice car to drive but the 4.69 diff ratio is a stump puller. Cruises well on 55 mph but 65 mph is a no no.
Kind Regards, Peter Toet
