....similar to the Buick Dynaflow.

Ah yes, good ol' Dynaflow.
Had a '53 Buick as a teenie bopper.Straight 8 w/ Dynaflow. Very comfortable couchlike front seat. :)

BTW, how reliable are these CVT transmissions? Do they use variable pulleys and belt?

Back in high school days, a pal’s dad owned an early 50’s Oldsmobile. There had been a fire at the Hydramatic plant so this Olds came with a Buick Dynamics’s Flow. It sounded like a Buick...just one long gear.

The first dragster Don Garlits built had a Buick straight 8, outdated by 1953 but they were good engines. And the Dynaflows were also well built. Buicks with Dynaflows were gas hogs, that was the main drawback. We got a 2006 Ford Freestyle with the CVT. 160k miles, the trans is good but it’s got a bad sensor. Damn electronics!
