You should find a copy of the "Standard Catalog of US Cars" by Clark/Kimes if you like researching prewar info. I had to look up the Cad hyd info as I knew it differs from 1934 LaSalles I had worked on. Book says 1924 for Cad 4 wheel brakes Book says Cad V8-V12 got hyd in 1936, but shows the V16 still with mechanical for 36? Seems odd. LaSalle was the first and only GM to get hyd brakes in year 1934, and it also had the first use of a rear sway bar on GM, and Cad did not yet have that for a year or two later.

hidden_hunter Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 First model for four wheel brakes was the v63, which combined with the engine was the main change with that model compared to the type 61 (visually they look nearly identical) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
