Until just before we got married, my wife drove a green 1972 Mercury Comet 
with a big-block V-8.  It had drum brakes on all four wheels and wasn't hard 
to stop (steering was a different story, at least when the "power-assist" 
died...).  I think my old mid-1980's Chrysler had disk brakes on the front 
and drums in the back.  That was pretty common then in the U.S. (it may 
still be).
