Another Vintage Gas Pedal, Possibly From 1940s International Harvester Truck on 2040-parts.com
Greenport, New York, US
This appears to be an original 1940s gas or accelerator pedal, the second pedal found in a
garage along with parts that were identified as being from a mid to
late 1940s D-Series International Harvester truck, though it cannot be
confirmed that it also came from that truck.
The pedal appears to be structurally sound though it has considerable rust, is very dirty and shows wear.
The pedal measures 7 3/4 by 2 inches and is extremely thin - please note its thickness against the pencil in the photos.
Please examine the photos carefully as that is the best way to understand the condition of this vintage pedal.

This is the holy grail for engineers: maintain the power and performance of the existing big capacity engines we’ve become wedded to, but in a smaller, more economical package.
Pontiac Vibe
Tue, 13 Nov 2007One week after Toyota introduced its new Matrix at the SEMA show in Las Vegas, Pontiac presented the new redesigned Vibe at the LA Auto Show, a five-door hatchback short wagon that - like the Matrix - is derived from a lengthened and widened Corolla platform. Clear brand differentiation between the two cars is done through the styling of the Vibe's excusive sheet metal and different interior finishes and trim. To better relate the Vibe to the Pontiac Solstice or G8, designers wanted to express more muscle and leave behind last generation's "mini-SUV" look.
