Yes, there was a big fire at the Hydra-Matic plant in '53. Manual transmission installations were greater in '53 than other years. And Dynaflows were used in place of Hydra-Matics. I think Cadillacs had to use Dynaflow also. '54 introduction was only early in '54, I suspect to allow time to get Hydra-Matics back in production.
