The original Ford-O-Matic, while capable of three forward speeds, started out in second and shifted to third,
with first only being used when selecting L on the gear shift column.
HOWEVER; if floored from a standing start, it would immediately shift from second to low then shift back to second and then third as the vehicle accelerated.
The Ford-O-Matic was manufactured from 1951 until it was replaced by the C4 in 1964.
