The engineering on those transaxles makes my head spin, no wonder Mercedes snapped it up. Basically it is the ancestor of the modern exotic transmissions, newer Maseratis etc use a clutch to get first gear and then shift automatically. I'm always amazed at what those guys came up with back then, using just pencils and slide rules...
Woodward Dream Cruise is on my destination list next year, looking forward to seeing some of the cars mentioned in this thread.
