in that youtube he said the winning name was Hurst Matic ?

I never heard that name. Hurst had a lot of names like Pro Matic and V-Matic

The contest was for the shifter that was named AUTO/STICK

Later there was a Auto/Stick II and Auto/Stick 3

might be the winners of the Hurst Nova for the Hurst name the shifter contest
Looks like "name the shifter contest" is on the quarter panel

They call it a 3 speed stick automatic

It became known as the Hurst Auto Stick and was made as a bench seat floor conversion shifter using a rod not a cable.

Also used by Yenko in the Deuce auto trans cars
some were even installed by Hurst
I had a hat like that (in yellow and black).

I know I had it up through high school, when one of my buddies grabbed it off my head and jumped in the swimming pool. I don't think it got saved after that.

You can see on the roof of the car, under the young boy, the words "Hurst A Matic", so that would indicate that they at least intended for that to be the name of their automatic trans shifter. Personally, I have never (previous to this thread) heard of that shifter called anything other than "Auto/Stick" :dunno:
