Actually, the DAF - a Dutch-made car - had a gearless transmission in the '60s,
I believe.  DAF stood for - surprise, surprise - (Van)Doornes AutoFabrik (or
whatever the Dutch for Van Doorne's Auto Factory was).  DAF was later bought
out by Volvo (I'm not sure whether Volvo owns Van Doorne Transmissie, but they
do own the former DAF).  I don't remember how much the current stepless
transmission has in common with the DAF Variomatic.
