Re: [FWDLK] Bellows or Canister?

[Mike Sealey <mopar2ya@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is admittedly a major departure from FWDLK
vehicles, but I have an underhood picture of a 1962
Chaika, the Soviet '56 Packard clone (along with the
alternate Packard-clone contemporary ZIL) so popular
among Communist leaders, that shows either a '50s
MoPar power brake bellows or a nearly exact duplicate
of one. (I saved this pic basically because it cracked
me up to see this very familiar bellows there...)

I'll send this pic to anyone who asks.
