POWER BRAKES $.
Cadillac Power Brakes are faster acting, easier to apply
and completely safe for all driving conditions. Braking
effort is cut one-third—in fact, just
a touch of the toe is all that's
required for safe, positive stops.
Unlike some systems, which use
a short-stroke pedal, the Cadillac
Power Braking System has a conventional-type
brake pedal. Thus,
should the power system ever fail,
there is sufficient leverage for the
driver to easily stop his Cadillac
with the standard hydraulic brake
system. This important advantage
should be told to your customers.
