You might remember this, but a lot of the 60s and 70s model auto trans could actually be roll started if you could get it up to about 20 miles an hour.
Sure do remember that. You either had to have about 5 guys pushing the car or be lucky enough to have a street on a hill...
Us stick shift guys never had that issue...just get her rollin' about 2-3 miles/hour and jump in, pop the clutch and you were good to go.
