The shift shown looks like it may have come out of a Clipper.
Good catch! The little glimpse of that black knob is lost in the rest of the view from the driver's seat, looking right.
If built that way at the factory (as PB was optional on all but the Carib), it should have a chrome knob at the end of lever, which would have been finished to match the control knobs on the instrument board, as used on Senior cars. I should know, since my other 56 Pat was built with manual select for the Twin Ultramatic.
I also noticed that the column is a different color than the steering wheel and instrument board - more like a medium brown, as was used in 55.
Too much mix-n-match for my tastes, but to each their own.
