Standard equipment on Studebakers starting in the late '40's.

Mark! Correct answer was hill holder. Thanks guys. Thanks Mark. I don't know from where you hail but I can hook you up with a ladder program or excessive amounts of pizza, sausage, pork, and red meat if you ever stop by my trailer at any race.

The "Hill-Holder" was offered on most Studebaker's and a lot of the vehicles of the 50's and 60's with Borg-Warner transmissions as original equipment, including Jaguar sedans.

The "Mico-Brake" was an accessory available for medium- and heavy- trucks to supplement the service brakes and act as an "emergency brake". They still make them in North Mankato, MN.!

You're very welcome Bobby.I'm stuck in Waukesha Wisconsin, just west of Milwaukee for the time being.I'm building an SS/L 65' Mustang coupe, but it's still @ the chassis shop. I'll be happy to take you up on the ladder program at some point in the near future.I like pizza too!Hope the stunt driving works out.

Good luck with the Mustang, if you have any questions let me know I can try to help you as best I can.

Could you please post a picture of your trailer?

One of the imports had that hill holding devise back in the 70's and I cannot remember what car it was (Subaru?) but it released when the clutch pedal was releasing. While holding the brake you pushed the button and it released with the clutch pedal stroke. I drove it and cannot remember... Uh no comments please... Especially you Blackstone! I am sure someone remembers.

In 1969 Ihad a 1947 chev fleetmaster with a hill holder. worked great on Seattle hills with stop lights. lots of really good backseat memories in that ride.

They definetly werent hill holders. Back in 83 on a Montana winter power line construction job we left a Mico Brake on all day {ebrake cables were ripped off}. Got out after lunch in winter when we left the engine run all day, shut the door and watched the truck take off down the hill & out of site dragging a generator and scattering material for well over 1/4 of a mile. The crew thought it was a lot funnier then the foreman did {me}
