The FE blocks started getting more popular along about 1958 and they used the later dual range cruise-o-matics for the most part. 1959 was a big change over year for transmissions. They still had air cooled single range Ford-o-matics for 223 6-cylinders and some 292 V8s and the new 2-speed started to come on line to replace it. Most of the 2-speeds types ended up on the little 6-cylinder Falcons and Comet cars for 1960 & later. That's likely why folks wonder about some of the oddities of 1959.
