Mystery Transmission - Attached to 1953 Ford V8 Flathead

Hi all...

I've been fixing up a vintage hot rod from the early 1950's and the pictures below show the transmission and adapter plate that attached it to the Ford Flathead V8. I've also attached pictures of the car it came from - a 1953 fiberglass kit car called a "Grantham Stardust".

The tranmission appears to have overdrive and it's a sideshift.

Can anyone help ID this transmission?

Thanks for any help

Geoff

 

That looks like all Stock Ford O.D. from 1950-1955.

Thanks for the quick reply gang. I was calling the "silver bell housing" the adapter.

 

Doesn't look like , IT IS a Ford Oversrive, nothing special

I've got one of those with that super long tail shaft housing. Someone told me it was from a '58 Edsel or something. Anybody need it?

 

Sounds good. Thanks for the confirmation. Ford 1949-1953 3 speed with overdrive. Much appreciated. Geoff

 

Hacker! That car is so ugly you HAVE to save it!!! You will NEVER see another one like it!

 

Glad you liked...it's one of those fairly unknown kit cars from 1953.

 

Grows on ya tho'

Cool project.

 

Love the car.. it's just bizarre enough to be cool. Chebby is right, it does grow on you.. I find myself wanting one now...

 

Love that car! Just wierd enough to be exotic I think. Good luck and it should be lotsa fun and what an attention getter!

 

Much more stylish than the Venus whose hometown is the east side of Houston.
