pflaming Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Visiting with a retired brake specialist last week and he said one of the '30's Imperials had disc brakes, front and rear. I do not recall which year. He said the calipers were nearly full circle and had small brake pads that nearly surrounded the rotor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pflaming Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Information from the net indicates Chrysler had four wheel discs on the 1949 Chrysler limos. I will revisit my source who said it was a one year offering. Crowley had four wheel discs early also but only one year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will revisit my source who said it was a one year offering. Crowley had four wheel discs early also but only one year. Maybe something like this? From a 50 Mopar parts books. Shows to be on C-49 and C-50 Chryslers. Option? Book does not show model application. Edited February 14, 2016 by DJ194950 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb1949 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 That White 300C convert. I watched auction results once, and something in that range, nice Red, SOLD for about $8,500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) The Ausco-Lambert 4 wheel disc brakes were factory installed as std equipment only on the 1949-55 Chrysler Crown Imperial 145" limousines and the 1950 Chrysler Town and Country Woodie. All extremely low production high dollar cars. Parts are not available so need to be sourced/made if needed or rebuilt. A couple pics of these Ausco-Lambert brakes I need to reline/rebuild for my 1950 Town and Country woodie...
