A lot of Chrysler Corporation products had this same setup in the early fifties. It caused me a few problems when I built my first T Bucket using a "baby hemi" in the early sixties.

I remember the car I took my engine out of at the junkyard had a clutch pedal with "Safety Clutch" molded into the rubber pedal pad.
