It wasn't an option----- it was standard on all 8 cylinder models and 7
passenger 6 cylinder Chryslers and not available optionally at all
apparently. I had to reconfirm this for myself today. First it is shown in
the parts manual for 49, it is listed on page 74 of the Ross Roy handbook
and darned if it isn't on my various 8 cylinder 49 Chryslers and T&Cs.
My first experience with this was on our 50 Chrysler Royal station Wagon
back in 70 when we first owned it. Had occasion to slam on the brakes and
darn near went through the windshield. Didn't know I had them till I was
checking after then and followed the vacuum line to the cylinder under the
floor under the drivers seat.
Now this has me wondering if the 46-8 models had this but will let someone
else check it out. The parts numbers seem to be 49 vintage so I doubt it.
