Why is the clutch pedal red on the '48 Clipper?

I thought I knew, but when I checked I found I wasn't quite right. Here it is:
Packard added to the ease of driving with its Electromatic clutch introduced in 1941 and continued through 1949. It was evidenced by a red clutch pedal until mid-48, then black through 1949.
But I'm not that familiar with the "Electromatic clutch." Your turn?

Thanks, John, I wasn't aware of that option.
