 What up with the lever bolted to the underside of the dash? Improvised cruise control?</div></div> I'm betting it's an early hand operated brake control. I saw a few of those before Hurst came up with the line lock. Dick Brannan (local to South Bend) was smarter than most and rigged up a Studebaker "Hill Holder" solenoid on his 63 Ford light weight car, and connected it to the clutch pedal. Don't wanna be rolling out of the staging beams you know.
