Thanks Tim for the rundown on "FA" vs "F" & Dexron. If I read you correctly, my '55 would be happier (& smoother) with Dexron.

I too haven't really had all that much trouble finding Type "F" so I guess that the NAPA outlet where they got the fluid for my '55 may have just been out. So long as I don't have any trouble with either of them I think I'll stick with what's in there until it's time for the next service: Next year on the '51 and the following year on the '55. Fortunately, neither transmission leak so I'm not having to constantly top off like I do with my '60 Imperial.
