59 Mercury
Anyone know what transmissions come in these cars?
I was talking to one of my buddies that scraps/parts out cars and I was asking if he had any ford transmissions, and he said the only one he had was out of a 58 Mercury but I could have the tranny.
Anyone know what this is before I drive the distance and pull it?

I don't think the C6 came out till the '60s, it might be an FMX, but whatever it is, I don't think you want it unless you are doing a resto on a '58 Merc and need the original trans. -TD

Ask your buddy if he still has the body. You could grab the Teletouch controller while you're there. It's an Edsel part too.
The tranny is probably the Merc-o-matic 3 speed. Also called Fordomatic(Ford), Turbo-drive(Lincoln), Flightomatic(Studebaker), Flash-o-matic(Rambler), Automatic(Edsel), and Cruise-o-matic.
