Perhaps it wasn't popular and quickly discontinued.
Someone could have rigged up an idiot light as an option, if indeed knowing the brake was on was a big issue.
For the 51 on style handle they did have the idiot light. Not sure when the postwar emergency brake warning option was officially offered again but do remember seeing cars with a small bracket under the dash edge near the handle with a red light in the middle. 56 went a step farther if the car had PB shift and used the empty quadrant space to house a large red piece of plastic that illuminated BRAKE if the handle was not pushed all the way back.
