Actually, the association goes back much before the Turbo Hydramatic 400, to the original, 4-speed Hydra-Matic of the early '50s. In my opinion, an even better transmission; the only automatic battle-tested in World War II, four of them were installed in the little M24 "Chaffee" light tank.
(Hydra-Matic was also used by Hudson, Nash, even arch-rival Lincoln.)
