They couldn't pass inspection with mechanical the installed mechanical brakes. Is there anyone hear that drove those? My '34 Ford had mechanical brakes and if I'm not mistaken the '37 Ford still had mechanical brakes, maybe even later. Ed Sullivan I believe 1939 was the last year for mechanicals on Ford (the last holdout in the American market). 1940-1942 "juicers" were commonly adapted to "A"s and other early Fords. ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com **
