From personal experience... My father always drove Dodge Business Coupes for their huge trunks, as he moonlighted installing water heaters and forced air furnaces. I learned to drive in his Dodge Liquid Drive Coupe. It had a clutch and 3 on the tree. Operation of the clutch was optional, even from neutral to first gear, although that was just a bit lurchy. Those transmissions never failed him, even when he chained up a tree trunk to pull it out of the ground. The tree won the first round, ripping off the bumper. Second round chain to the axle won the war.
