Re: [Chrysler300] 55/6 power brake pedal

["Ron Waters" <ronbo97@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Everyone -

Just looked in the parts book. There was a mid-year change for the power
brake pedal in '56. Could that account for some with the 'Power Brake'
lettering and some without ? Also, Gary Goers has this pedal available in
his catalog. He says it's available in either red (!) or gray.
