TRANSMISSION APPLICATION - ALL SERIES
 
 
 
 
The chart below spells out transmission application for all 1968 series, and details the availability of optional floor consoles. Note that a console is required with Automatic or Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission when floor shift is specified; and that
 
a console is standard in Grand Prix, except with optional Strato-bench front seat.
(See pages S-2 and S-3 in the Optional Equipment and Accessories Sub-section for complete details on all the consoles.)
