Whew! Glad it was that simple. For years, Ford always thought people would want to start out in 2nd gear for "smooth" starts. Starting in '51, the first "Ford-O-Matic", you had to manually select low to start in 1st gear and then shift to drive to get all 3 gears. I know my mothers '54 Ford was like that. My '56 was like that too, but would down shift to low at the start if you floored the accelerator. The '65-66 C-4 "Cruise-O-Matic" like ours had the two dots, large and small, to let people choose what gear to start out in. You now know all about that.
