Nope. Neither the 1965 Chrysler nor the 1965 Imperial was available with
disc brakes.
Budd brakes first appeared in 1966 on Chrysler's C-body cars - Fury, Polara,
Monaco and Chrysler. In 1967 the Imperial adopted the C-body and gained
Budd disc brakes.
The drum brakes were Bendix design. The master cylinder and most of the
parking brake and hold-down parts interchange between the 1965 Imperial (D
body) and power-brake equipped 1965 C-body cars. Shoes and drums are unique
to the Imperial, though.

Subject: IML: 1965 BUDD BRAKES ?????
Just a quick question..........
Would a '65 New Yorker have the same BUDD brakes as a '65 Imperial ?????
If so, what sort of things should I be aware of ???? (regarding discs or
drums)
THANKS again for all the helpful advice !!!
