No, Gerard, but another one is the old Buick Fluid drive from the 50's--we 
used to call them "Slushboxes".  Back in those days, with the weightier cars 
it seemed that when you mashed the accelerator the car's tranny seemed to 
think about it a moment before engaging.  We had much disdain for automatic 
trannys back then, and tended afterward to call them all "Slushboxes".
