Then turn on the ignition and step on the accelerator. So lift the lever a little and move into either of these settings. To prevent starting the engine with the car “in gear,” so to speak, your car has been designed so that the engine will not start except when the control lever is in “P” or “N” position. The telling is really much more complicated than the doing, but let’s run through some common driving situations and see how the 1950 Buick Dynaflow Transmission handles them. (3) For slow, hard pulls out of very tough spots or possibly for “rocking” the car out of sand or snow. (2) For reserve braking action on steep downgrades. (1) For starts with a heavy load on very steep grades. You will rarely need this reserve setting except: “L”, which is next, stands for EMERGENCY LOW, a very powerful setting-more powerful than low gear on any conventional car. Set the lever here for all normal forward travel. Now comes “D” for DRIVING-the setting you will use most. This is the other position in which the engine may be started. So don’t leave your car standing on a grade in this setting unless your foot parking brake is firmly set. In this position your rear wheels are disengaged from the engine. Next is “N” for NEUTRAL – just like neutral on any car. This is also one of the two positions for starting the engine. It drops a steel bar into a gear so as to mechanically Jock rear wheels-a more positive lock than any kind of parking brake. There is “P” for PARKING-the position in which you leave the control when you park. Now look at the various positions of the control lever, starting at the left. No clutch pedal and no gearshift lever of the usual sort. A foot-brake, an accelerator and this control lever under your wheel-that’s all there are. Controls for 1950 Buick Dynaflow Transmission Driving are just about as simple as you can imagine.
