I believe it!   They were some of the worst handling cars of the 
50's......hideous oversteer.....most ended in the ditch!

I purchased a wreck in 64  and  pulled the 383 TF..but not the Differential!  
My latest sleeper... '56 Ply. Savoy Business coupe  had 4.10's!

Unfortunately, the '56's parking brake was on the PowerFlites tail 
shaft....gone!

And  because the Driver side windshield / post / door were mangled...I had to 
use the PF's pushbuttons...  R N D L   sound familiar?

I never lost it..but the poor guy I sold it to  drove it all the way back to 
the east coast.......stopped to take a break...came out and the car had rolled 
into a ravine !

The only way I could make the '56 act safely was to install  rear  folding 
ladder bar.... did the deed.
