1949 Oldsmobile

This is one car I was not very happy with. The first thing was with the automatic transmission. We went on a trip from Barstow to San Jose CA. On the way home the transmission did a strange thing, it dropped down into low gear and would not shift back up. Checked the fluid level and added some but did not help. Had to drive the remaining 45 miles home to Barstow in the low range. After it was repaired it  shifted hard and was never the same but I drove it fast especially on the old route 66. This highway  just followed the lay of the land down in the ravines and over the ridges up and down, quite a thrill. I traded this car in on a 51 oldmobile.
