Unfortunately this is too difficult on my current '63 Squareback due to the 
rubber mats (instead of carpet).

I have noticed a difference.  Driving my '67 Squareback, I couldn't wear my 
hiking boots because my shoe couldn't get in between the brake pedal and 
tunnel to push the accelerator.  Size 10 shoe.  Even my normal tennis shoes 
barely fit.  I've noticed other people asking about this in the past.

My '63 has tons of room.
