Regarding the comments about the lack of smooth shifting with the Dual Range Hydramatic transmission, and that Packard may have avoided using these transmissions in their cars for this reason: I believe that for a period of time in the 50s Rolls Royce equipped their cars with these Hydramatics. They may have given up smoothness for reliability. Just something more to think about.
