Re: Are there production figures for 1955-1956 Packards with manual transmissions?

Jack Vines referred to a conversion that looked funny because the large suspended power brake pedal was next to a conventional through-the-floor clutch pedal. A friend of mine has a 53 Cavalier that came from the factory with a standard transmission and it has the same mismatched pedals. Apparently Packard didn't get enough orders for standard transmissions for them to redesign the clutch pedal to conform to the power brake pedal.
