Another surprising statement said that before buying the Hydramatic Lincoln first tried to buy the Ultramatic for use in the big Lincoln Cosmo models but was turned down because Packard could not supply enough to meet expected demand. If it actually happened, I suspect more than supply availability, it might have also had something to do with wanting the Ultra to stay exclusive for a year or two.


I have never heard this before, and as desperately as Nance was scrambling about for revenue streams, I'm inclined to doubt this tidbit. I think he would have happily pimped out his transmissions.
