The '58 Auto Pilot speed control knob displaces the
center dashboard light that would otherwise be the parking brake indicator (I
think. Sitting here I can't exactly remember what the light is for). I
don't see where there is a corresponding hole or other blank space to retro-fit
a '58 style Auto Pilot on a '56 dashboard. Accordingly, I agree with Paul:
that an aftermarket modern appliance may be a better fit for your '56 if you are
adding cruise control. That being said, plainly you were wondering whether
an authentic, mechanically superior Chrysler speed control sytem could be placed
in your '56, as opposed to a Radio Shack replacement. If so, your
easy solution is...
to buy a '58!
