I am surprised no one has brought up the vacuum powered disk brakes that came on ambassador models in the mid to late 70s that tapped into the tow vehicles vacuum supply via a plug at the rear bumper!
We had a 79 and the brakes were fabulous until they needed repair and I had to send the calipers to Ca to be rebuilt.
$1800 later we were back in business and sold the unit two months later to a retired couple in Mesa, AZ to use as guest house~ go figure!
