I feel a little silly responding to a 2007 thread, but Jack Vines commented that the 56 Caribbean that had been dealer converted to OD had a high clutch pedal and low power brake pedal, thereby looking "clunky". A friend of mine has a 53 Cavalier with OD (which was a factory option on Cavaliers) and it has the same awkward pedal arrangement. The clutch pedal is high like a normal clutch pedal and goes through the floor. The power brake pedal is hinged and low. My guess is that all 55 and 56 Packards and Clippers coming from the factory with OD had this same peculiar pedal arrangement.
