I’ve seen this combination of symptoms twice before in the ‘52 Estate Model. In one case, it was a quick fix of a 75 cent part. In the other case, it was a difficult, costly, time-consuming disassembly and remantling of the entire drivetrain and lubrication mechanism which didn’t work. The motor exploded itself, and the body was stripped and sold for scrap. (There it is.)

Sample dialogue
I've never seen an assembly of this kind on any American make or model (nor foreign, actually) in all my experience. I thought maybe it might be some kind of hot rod power-booster (unusual for a station wagon); but, then, after what occurred and so on, I figured it's my duty to bring it to the attention of the proper authorities. In case it comes from outer space.
