Duesenberg Gas Pedal
Short Round floors this accelerator pedal, referred to as 'the gas,' in the Duesenberg's cab right after the crash landing. His quick press surges the engine, hurling the battered luxury car forward into escape. Indy issues calm commands to drive, while Willie gapes in panic at the boy taking control. The pedal transforms stunned survival into high-speed flight through Shanghai streets.
