1) How common were cars with automatic gearboxes in the US in 1953? And in 1961?

2) I think we need a new wireless router. Any points I need to consider? Any recommendations? Any anti-recommendations?

My impression for question 1 would be something along the lines of most new cars in 1953 being automatic, but plenty of manuals (often column shift rather than stick shift) still on the road. Most Americans driving automatics by 1961.

But that's only an impression from absorbing popular culture.

Nowadays, I understand that manual gearboxes are pretty much limited to sports cars and trucks in the US.

Thanks for that.
