Wanted: 54 manhattan, or 53 Dragon Automatic

[Orphanauto]

I am looking for a 54 Manhattan, or 53 Dragon, but must be automatic. It is a gift for my wife. she loves our 53 manhattan, but can't drive a 3 speed. I know I could teach her, as I did teach her how to drive in the 1st place, but.. this is a chance to get another car, with the excuse that she can't drive a stick,   ( hehe ). I prefer a nice driver, need not be a show car, but needs to be drivable. We live in a small mayberry type town, so it will only be for around out very small town. thanks, Ron... aka orphanauto

Just some FYI Ron,  a lot of 1953 Manhattans and some '53 Deluxe and '54 Specials had Hydramatics in them so it's certainly possible to find one of those.
Mike Barker had a '54 Manhattan with Hydramatic in it, for sale in the Sept KFOC bulletin. Contact him at kaisermbarker@aol.com

Here's a pretty decent looking Manhattan with a Hydramatic -

THat looks like a pretty nice one and the bids only up to $2,500 right now, which is very reasonable (assuming the seller would accept that amount).
