My 1955 Pontiac has a dual range hydramatic, the use of power glides was because of a fire at the plant in 1954. Pontiac used differant versions of the hydramatic up until 1964? with the last series using a PARK position. GMC trucks from 1955 until 1958(?) used Pontiac V-8's and you could get a hyrdamatic transmission. In the 1960's Pontiac used a 2 speed transmission it was not a powerglide but a version called a super turbine.
