how to drive a Cord with the preselector transmission

Learn To Drive One Of The Most Elegant And Complicated Cars Of The 1930s

If you want to see how it works, and the engine, etc, Jay Leno owns one:
Jay Lenos Garage- CORD

But basically its not as weird as you think. Just a series of electrical motors that automate the process. It seems redundant today, but people really didn't like shifting back then. Thats why cars like the Model-T used a primitive automatic trans instead of a traditional manual.

As for the most complicated 30s era car? Maybe the Doble Steam car. Literally "steampunk" with dials, and valves everywhere.
