First car to have automatic transmission?

The first car to be commercially produced with an automatic transmission was the 1939 Oldsmobile, specifically the Oldsmobile Hydra-Matic.

While other earlier cars had automatic transmissions, they were either experimental or not widely produced. The Oldsmobile Hydra-Matic was the first to be mass-produced and commercially available to the general public.
