    A nice report with some inaccurate information.


    The base level Super Series cars were available with either six-cylinders or V-8s for 1949, with each offered as four-door sedan, two-door club coupe and two-door convertible Brougham. The inline sixes used a Carter two-barrel carburetor, displaced 262 cubic inches and generated 121 hp. The sibling Eight cars actually displaced only 254 cubic inches, but turned out 128 hp. Three-speed manual shifting was standard, but for an additional $101, buyers could move up to an overdrive manual. A “Drive-Master” transmission was also available that gave drivers a choice between manual or automatic shifting. That $112 option lasted until 1951, when it was replaced by a Hydra-Matic unit.
