Hi Jay,
I don't know if ' 58's ever were shipped with them or not . But they look
cool ! I called the 800 # and ordered two sets for $20 each.
One set to use on my ' 59 and the other to put away. They still had several
more sets yesterday. BTW since most parts came from the "bin" , what car(s)
originally came with the flying A pedal pads ?
