Actually, the crew cab models either came with or could be had with an automatic.

1970 Boss 302 Mustang w/ Hurst 4 speed only. Also could not be purchased with AC or power windows. No power door locks. Radio did have FM. No tape deck/CD. It was pure horse power and handling. There are no cars like that today.

In the good old days an automatic transmission was an expensive option.
Today many vehicles aren't even offered in an manual! You can't buy a GM truck or SUV with a manual transmission in 2010.
It took me 6 months to find my Toyota Tacoma because I wanted a V6 5 speed....even with Toyotas only about 20-30% of those I found were manual.

Actually I recently read that cars with real manual transmissions represent only about 9% of all of the cars being produced. And that number is expected to fall over the next few years.
