Default Is a torque converter available to replace fluid coupling on 1950 Gyromatic

I have a 1950 Dodge Coronet with the M6 Gyromatic transmission. The car is
going to
have a substantial restoration and this will be a good time to incorporate any
major
mechanical changes. If it is feasible I would like to upgrade the
transmission from
a fluid coupling to a torque converter. Is this possible and which Chrysler
cars
would have had the torque converter. This would help in finding a converter
from
a parts source. Thanks

Look up on allpar and search for fluid drive, or M6. Some Chrysler
Imperials had Fluid Torque Drive, with a shift quadrant, but still had
the clutch. I think this was around 51/52.
