Parking Brake Warning Lamp
The Parking Brake Warning Lamp was listed as
accessory code AC-2776 and was installed at the
factory on 40 Golden Hawks for 1956.
The lamp itself was located on the lower part of
the instrument panel between the headlamp and
instrument lamp switches. As the name implies,
the red lamp would shine when the parking brake
was applied and the ignition was on.
Only forty Golden Hawks came equipped from the
factory with this accessory and all except six were
exported.
The wiring included a clip that attached to the parking brake mechanism and was activated when
the handled was pulled out to engage rear brakes.
