I had a 55 ford Club Sedan, If I started off in L and after it shifted to D I could pull it back ti L and run top speed until I shifted back to D. That was what was called an inter-mediate gear. I think they dis- continued it in 59. I had a 60 mod that if you tried that you were in the windshield. So I would say it had 3 gear ranges, no overdrive. Al
