The Packard auto trans was called "Ultramatic"  according to the trim on my 
Uncle Herman's '55 Hudson Hollywood 2door hardtop with V8 & continental kit 
and white leather upholstery.  Seemd to me like everything was fine with 
that big boat excpet for that Ultramatic Trans.  I was 17 at the time and 
worked one summer vacaton for him.  He was Hudson dealer In NoDak.
