My 46 Packard Clipper has some sort of semi automatic transmission in it as well, but it is a project car and not here at the house for me to look. But some sort of similar set up where you could shift without clutching. But, of courrse, this is the same car that you start by pressing on the gas pedal.

If that Mercury has a Liquamatic transmission, you’ll have the only one in existence. The only Liquimatic transmission known to mankind is in the V8 Club Museum. Still, another may show up someday.
