I have a Canadian 1947 Dodge D25 which I understand to be similar to the American P15 in many respects, including the dashboard and control layout. Can someone please tell me what optional item/control occupied the lower left spot beside the defroster knob? I have just installed this clock and would like to complete the dash if possible. Thank you.

2 mid 50's OD transmissions on the bay.

I'd be interested in one of the O/D transmissions... Is there anyone out there near Hagerstown, Maryland that wants to go in on this with me and is willing to help ship one to Western Canada? -
Thank you Jim and Brendan for your replies. The 50 Plymouth link was excellent. From Kraus' Standard Catalog of American Cars 1946-75, it appears that 3-speed O/D transmissions were available on the following brands and years: DeSoto 1952-56, Dodge 1953-56, Plymouth 1952-56. Do I have this correct, and can anyone confirm, or otherwise, that these devices ought to be basically drop-in to my 1947 D25?

We've recently completed a 5,400 mile road trip in our faithful '47, at an average 50-55 mph (on roads much better than this NV track). I've owned this car for 17 years, and this is the first time it's been further than 100 miles from home. An overdrive would be nice for future long trips. What I've read on this site and elsewhere suggests that a transmission-with-overdrive from a later Mopar-flathead ought to be a straightforward swap. (I don't have fluid drive.) Is this correct? What particular years/models should I be on the lookout for? Can anyone suggest good links to further information? A source for the hardware? Any other comments? Thanks!
