Re: Model A cruise control
What was the point of the throttle control on the column?
Was it just so folks used to a Model T would be able to drive more easily? Wp |

Re: Model A cruise control
Yup always gotta have it, for that long trip but always have my hand on the throttle just in case and the foot close to the brake!

Re: Model A cruise control
My 1933 Chev had a hand operated throttle also. It was a pull out control.
Seems to have been a common feature at that time. Marc |

Re: Model A cruise control
My 1949 Chevy 1 1/2 ton truck also has a factory cable throttle as well as the foot feed. My truck doesn't have a PTO, but if one was installed the hand throttle would be handy.
