01

Artifact Overview

This booklet features specialized automobile controls offered by Oldsmobile in the mid-1960s. Special adapters, used to operate accelerator and brake pedals by hand rather than by foot, made cars more accessible for drivers of differing abilities. Dual brake controls, with a second brake pedal mounted on the passenger side, were used in student-driver cars.
