Ramblers of the newly created American Motors Corporation (AMC), formed from the merger of Nash and Hudson, also used Hydramatic's, I believe, through 1956 or 1957.</p> <p>On a side note, Ramblers were built by AMC, but between 1955 through the 1957 model year, they were badged as either Nash's or Hudson's.</p> <p>I believe Packard may also have used the Hydramatic as well for a time. I do know that by the mid-50's Packard was calling their automatic transmission the "Ultramatic".</p>
