Topic: 66 w/Power Drum Brakes

[amishtechnology]

I saw a 66 c-code coupe yesterday with power drum brakes (and the complete California emissions system still intact as well) — features I don’t often see on an occasional driver in the wild. It had me wondering how common it was to get the power booster option with drum brakes. The car was heavily optioned otherwise. I know we don’t have production stats for 66, but I am curious how often others run across the power drum setup?

Pretty rare/unpopular option for such a small light weight car.  Buyers at the time associated the need for power brakes with larger heavier cars.

Would guess for 64-66 somewhere around 5% but that is just a guess

It's a nice upgrade for an occasional driver.
