re; gas pedal. Take it off and look for indication of origin.
If none, post picture for ID/compare to OEM. I don't remember any big rubber ones just those "barefoot" chrome ones from the 60-70s. But who knows what POs did to personalize their cars. Mine came with fuzzy dice. Could've have some sort of disability, large shoe size, or preference. This is well before advent of electrically adjustable gas pedals.
I don't recall seeing any optional foot pedals in the parts list. But you can look there as well.

ps: I know of documented studies(sae) of engine wear that apportion ~80% of engine wear to start up friction before oil flow but none for Packard engines.
