Powerglide
Two-speed automatic transmission
Powerglide is a two-speed automatic transmission developed by Chevrolet in 1950, one of the first mass-produced automatics in American cars.
The name combines power with the smooth, effortless sensation of gliding—no manual shifting required.
Though obsolete in modern vehicles, Powerglide transmissions remain popular in drag racing for their simplicity and durability.
The term sometimes appears as a general reference to smooth, automatic operation.
