Re: First year 4-speed?
I asked that same question to a local big car guy that grew up with those cars, and he also thought it was 1959 for big Chevrolets.

Re: First year 4-speed?
1959 was the first year for it to be an RPO in a Passenger car. (no production totals available) They were the same trans that was used in the Corvette (all close ratio) and used the longer shift rods. Only available on the 348s and the two F.I. 283s. Dealers installed them in '57s and '58s though.
