Power Steering and Power Brakes - For 1961, the effort needed to park has been reduced by 25%. This unit provides complete control and excellent "road feel" under all driving conditions. Power brakes are self-adjusting with 259 square inches of brake lining area. There is a parking brake warning light on the instrument panel.
Power Windows and Power Door Locks - Window motors have been increased in size for added power output. This assures positive operation with extra reserve. They are also dipped in liquid rubber to seal them against moisture and corrosion.
