I'm looking at a very nice solid 53 Victoria with an automatic transmission. I have had several 3sp manual fords over the years including a 51 but never an automatic. I was wondering what some of the members opinions might be concerning this setup. Its the trans that starts off in 2nd unless you pull it down into low. Reliability? Parts available? etc.

Much obliged for any help.
