I read that FDR designed hand controls for his Model A.. I wondered how that might have been accomplished. I suspect a large hand lever mount on the steering column to push in the clutch.. Still challening to think how one hand clutched and shifted (look Mrs. Roosevelt no hands on the wheel)..

Why is my steering column so low at the firewall opening? It is interfering with the floorboards and the floorboard pedal plates. This is a Victoria that has the spacer in the tank bracket that lowers the column. It looks like it is off by that spacer amount....03-16-2018, 11:38 AM -
