4AD Gas Pedal?
My 1952 4AD came with a roller on the end of the accelerator linkage. On most cars, you would expect a gas pedal hinged at the floor to move against that rolller. My car has no signs of ever having a gas pedal. My 1953 4ADT doesn't even have the roller on the linkage. Are 4ADs supposed to have gas pedals? If so, what do they look like? And where can I locate one? My accelerator works fine like it is, but I was just wondering

Ok, lets try something brand new for this website, a little controversy
All the 4AD's I have ever seen had a roller on the gas pedal, tiny little thing that looks to be a afterthought, I have included a picture of my 4AD's pedal. But I cut up a 4AD many years ago and earlier today when I said I would take a picture, I planned on taking a picture of its gas pedal, imagine my surprise when I noticed it had a pedal on the bottom and no sign of any welding/cutting/modifying from a roller. So my earlier statement that all of them had rollers may be incorrect. By the way if it makes a difference the 4AD I cut up was a 55.
