Bill, Vancouver/ BUDD Brakes

THANKS BILL, for the full explaination.

SORRY about my ignorance.....................

I guess that's what happens when I try to retain ALL THIS IMPERIAL information in my already FULL brain.

I was confusing the BUDD brakes with the BENDIX brakes........

I wasn't sure if I should be careful buying a '65 ........... I knew the BUDD brakes were somewhere there in the mid '60's.............

THANKS,

Nope. Neither the 1965 Chrysler nor the 1965 Imperial was available with

disc brakes.

Budd brakes first appeared in 1966 on Chrysler's C-body cars - Fury, Polara,

Monaco and Chrysler. In 1967 the Imperial adopted the C-body and gained

Budd disc brakes.

The drum brakes were Bendix design. The master cylinder and most of the

parking brake and hold-down parts interchange between the 1965 Imperial (D

body) and power-brake equipped 1965 C-body cars. Shoes and drums are unique

to the Imperial, though.
