01

Artifact Overview

Ford Motor Company promoted its mechanical braking system, and the company's reconditioned-parts program, in this display at Atlantic City, New Jersey, in 1936. Ford's mechanical brakes were increasingly out-of-date. By this time, most automakers used hydraulic braking systems on their cars. Ford adopted hydraulic brakes for 1939.
