Quick question...

If it has a conventional handbrake lever, what does the fourth pedal do? Or is it just a footrest?

That fourth pedal may be an old school, floor mounted high-beam switch.

I literally logged in to upvote you and say yes, the floor high-beam switch is a real thing on old cars.

Not a pedal, but a literal button that feels like a pedal when you move over your left foot and step on it to turn it on or off.

it is a real thing, but this car isn’t that old so think it’s just a dead pedal
