| − | The Cruise-O-Matic
  |   | 
| − | 
  |   | 
| − | Introduced in 1951, the Cruise-O-Matic series 
  |   | 
| − | of three-speed automatics (which includes the FMX) 
  |   | 
| − | was used in Ford, Lincoln and Mercury passenger 
  |   | 
| − | cars until 1979, and in light trucks from 1968 
  |   | 
| − | through 1979. They came in three configurations:
  |   | 
| − | 
  |   | 
| − | the small case (from 1951 to 1966)
  |   | 
| − | 
  |   | 
| − | the medium case (from 1955 to 1968), and
  |   | 
| − | 
  |   | 
| − | the FMX (from 1967 to 1979
  |   | 
| − | 
  |   | 
| − | The Cruise-O-Matic transmissions are easily 
  |   | 
| − | identified by their design, which incorporates a 
  |   | 
| − | cast-iron main case (unlike all other Ford three-
  |   | 
| − | speed automatic offerings) with separate aluminum 
  |   | 
| − | bellhousings and extension housings bolted to it. 
  |   | 
| − | The Cruise-O-Matics should be avoided in performance
  |   | 
| − | applications as very little is available in the 
  |   | 
| − | way of aftermarket performance parts other than 
  |   | 
| − | shift kits. The Cruise-O-Matics were also offered 
  |   | 
| − | with all three bolt-common V8-pattern bellhousings.
