transmissions were unit construction (ex-motorcycle) design and didn't have a reverse gear, this made sense. The Victoria was really neat, it was shifted with solenoids. All you did was depress the clutch pedal and push a button! --- On Thu, 3/26/09, Paul wrote: From: Paul Subject: [Nighthawk Lover
