Red brake drum question

[Roadcuda]

Does anyone know what the first year was that red paint was available for the drum face? Was it '69 or was it earlier? Thanks in advance.

My '68 Coronet R/T had them and since '67 was the first year for the magnum style road wheel and red stripe tire combo, I'm guessing that's when it started...guessing!

whenever they started it, it sure looks cool with the red showing through! Not sure they are painted on my 68 R/T though, don't think so actually. I'll have to check. It is a PB car...perhaps they just painted the 11" manual brakes ?? Was yours manual or power?
