If you want to be happy with your purchase I strongly suggest looking at and driving a manual trans model.

Cadillac was so far ahead of the competition with hydramatic they pretty much dropped manual shift by 1949. I don't know exactly when it was formerly dropped, but I have seen 1948 cars with manual and I think maybe a 49.
