I was looking in the 55-58 chassis parts book tonight, and i noticed something that I had not realized before.
I always assumed that ALL 1956 and 57 president sedan models came with a 289 v8, AND the T85/OD as the standard transmission option with OD.
Looking in the parts manual i confirmed that all 56H and 57H models come standard with a 289, but I was surprised to see that the t86 looks to be either the available and or preferred option as long as the "Y" long wheelbase car was not ordered (or heavy duty, police, or taxi option).
I am reaching out to the masses here, are the t85/OD's common in these cars, or rare to find?
Interested in hearing back from people on what you have seen.
