Somebody's been in this car having fun. The gas pedal with the Packard crest is part # 446276. Was original on 53 2602 up, 54 5402 up, 5560 and 5580. The pedal with the sainless trim at the top was original on all 56 series.
I looked in the parts book, not relying on my memory any longer

Nice find. Adding to your collection again? That does look like a foot operated WS washer pump and styling is similar to one Stude shows in their parts books. Hard to tell though. I think that was another of those items available at about every corner gas station back then.

Randy, congratulations and just what you needed - another project in the hopper.
I'd be really interested in the Utica engine plant code, if you have time to find it. As a standard shift car it should have a doubled alpha prefix, e.g. "BB" instead of just "B". I've never actually had the opportunity to confirm one of these Utica #s for a standard shift so I'd appreciate your checking on this when time permits.

It would be interesting to pull the build card for this car and see when it was built, it looks to be a pretty late car.

I don't care about the woodshed, but if an oddity like this runs and drives, I think it's worth a look!
