4 is where it's at.

I don't remember what car this is, but this was at the ACD Museum in Auburn, Indiana.

Model T pedals. There are three. Precisely none of these does what you would expect.

Middle is brake I believe, left one is a reverse clutch where you have to hold it down to connect the engine, unless you move the hand brake on the left all the way down. The throttle is on the steering column. I have no idea what the right pedal is for. Maybe for the lights.

Pedals, joysticks, switches, and levers everywhere. The yellow one is the de celeorator.

Model T Central has a nice interactive version (scroll down). I've actually driven one.

Among other things. Here he is performing the Allegro from Bach's Concerto in A Minor after Vivaldi (BWV 593) back in 2010. There a few other videos on YouTube of him performing or conduction chamber music.

That's amazing! He is good!

No. Can't stand it. I'm a Bach lover, though. Traveled with a group of organists to Germany last year and was able to play some fantastic instruments.

Thanks. He's been playing for more than 60 years, and has three degrees in organ performance. He's also one hell of a harpsichordist.

This nice Benz from 1913 has 5 pedals. The high number of pedals (and rather big engine) pushed the top speed up to 170 km/h (110mph). Which was pretty fast as even the fastest cars in late 40's would have had it hard to keeping up.

Well I can play the Game of Thrones theme song on harpsichord so I assume we are on the same level.

"Why are there six pedals if there are only four directions?"

Probably not, but there's still time.
