I do like the one-way overrunning clutch though- imagine the nice effortless glides! IIRC the old 2-stroker Saabs had them.
Plymouth had freewheeling in the 1930s. Caused most of the archaic laws about illegal coasting in neutral passed late in the 1930s.

The problem was you had to be stopped to disengage the freewheeling and the period braking systems were pitiful compared to modern discs.
