The Standard Catalog of American Cars 1946-1975 does, in fact show power brakes as an option on the 1935 Chrysler Airflow.
However, the same source does not show power brakes as an option on the '49 Chryslers. Options on them include: white sidewall tires, wing vent wind deflectors, middle rear bumper guard, exhaust deflector, fog lights, grille guard, (dealer installed), highlander plaid upholstery, radio, heater, locking gas cap, weatherproof ignition, Mopar auto compass, under hood light, spot lamp, windshield washer, spare tire valve extension.

Was about to mention that my 49 Chryslers have them but then remembered that my 35 airflow had them on also!!! Not real common back then. It activated an additional arm which helped the effort on the master cylinder as I remember----- Original Message -----From: Bob SmithSent: Sunday, January 26, 2003 1:07 PMSubject: Power brakes (was IML: Chevy Imperial ?)My 1953 Olds 98 Holiday had power brakes so it would follow that Cadillac did, too. So did my '54 Cadillac Eldorado convertible.
