The Synchro-mesh variant from the 1955-1959 period pairs a synchronized manual gearbox with a 160 hp, 366 lb-ft rear-wheel-drive powertrain, a configuration that brought smoother, clutchless gearchanges to the working-class Suburban buyer of that era. The synchromesh mechanism was a meaningful refinement over older crash-box transmissions and helped modernize the driving experience in this generation.
