The '39 Ford was juice brakes... At least the one we had back on the farm did. It was a 1939 2 door sedan. Wouldn't quit running. On 40 models and later I think all cars had hydraulic brakes. At least I do not recall seeing any that did not. Even Jeeps. ______________________________ Ralph Ausmann - Hillsboro, OR - ----- Original Message ----- From: Don Sent: Friday, October 24, 2008 3:18 PM Subject: [Amc-list] old cars suck, but new ones are worse <<< i always heard that '48 was the first year for juice brakes and the last for the old chassis.>>> My 40 Ford and 40 Merc had juice brakes and I think the 39's also had them. I know 38 Fords were mechanical brakes.
