THIS pedal does more than just feed gas to an eager and highpowered V8 engine. When you give it the extra nudge that moves it beyond the full throttle position, something happens that never happened before in an automobile. You hear a businesslike purr, which tells you that twenty power vanes, deep inside the 1955 Dynaflow Drivfe,* have changed their pitch--just like the variable pitch propellers on a modern air liner. And with the same result in the way you get-up-and-go, with a safety-surge of power for pulling out of a tight spot on the highway.
