Here are a few other pictures of the lever on the dash in cars 1045, 1051 (I guess), and 1083. The lever looks like a mini gear shift that travel back and forth in an elongated slot. Maybe it opens and closes the defroster vents and was on cars originally equipped for the street.

Also note the driving lights on 1051. The driving light kit offered by CAV Canada looks like a good match to those on this car.
