Cadillac Triple Braking
System
A. The Cadillac pioneered inde-
pendent front and rear braking sys-
tems incorporates a separate fluid
reservoir, master cylinder piston
and hydraulic lines for each system.
Thus a malfunction (indicated by
red telltale light on instrument
cluster) to either front or rear sys-
tem leaves the other still operative.
B. The Cadillac parking or emer-
gency brake provides an auxiliary
braking system since, with the igni-
tion ON, and the car in gear, it may
be applied and released without
locking in applied position.
C. New larger power brake vacuum
booster for 1967 assures improved
high speed and high altitude brak-
ing performance.
D. New corrosion-resistant brake
lines and rayon cord brake hoses
assure increased durability and
long life.
E. Long life pistons in wheel brake
cylinders are made of a super-hard,
self-lubricating alloy for maximum
durability.
F. Finned brake drums, front and
rear, offer maximum area to cooling
flow of air for fast heat dissipation.
Flange on front brake backing
plates shields interior of drums from
splashing water.
G. Self-adjusting brake shoes auto-
matically bring linings back to
proper clearance with drums when
brakes are applied while car is in
rearward motion.
