CPT Jack Durish My friend’s uncle, a Packard salesman, allowed Frank to drive his sample Packard. I seem to recall that Frank shifted the automatic transmission into reverse while driving down the street with no harm done to the car.

You could do that with a Nash/Rambler. Something about a safety pressure relief value that I can't remember clearly. My own favorite experiment was shifting a car into Park while still moving. Don't recommend it...

I almost took a picture of one I saw in Edmonton two weeks ago but it did not look very nice. Paint was faded.
