'66 Starfire 4-Speed at Mecum LV

Cool car, but scope the tailpipes. Photoshopped, or?

They are fabbed-up pipes with aftermarket chrome tips. Why do you think they are Photoshop?

That last picture makes them look rather off-center.

Might be my aging eyes, but this doesn't look right. Actually, it looks right, as in too far right.

That's just the camera angle. Why would anyone "photoshop" that? Geeze people, you all must use a lot of tinfoil for hats.

That's more than camera angle, but whatever.

Another fine example of correct for Oldsmobile pedals, same back to 1959. No chevy pedals in sight. Pads very hard to find in new condition.

Those pedals were used on 65 thru 70 full size cars.

These were used in 59 thru 64 ;





You are right about one thing, they are extremely hard to find.
There was a member on here that was considering having the 65 thru 70 pads re-produced by 3D printing.
Don't know if he ever accomplished it though.

They are the same pedal arms, perhaps not the same parts numbers. I have posted pics of sets over the years if they still exist. The pads vary for sure. 1966 is the cut-off from my observations of actual cars. The clutch linkage for sure certainly evolved, almost completely different starting in 1965
