Top 5 oddest classic car features

What about the Ford "Sure-Trak" brake system available on Lincolns in 71-72 and Mustangs (and others) in '72?

Basically a stone-age technology version of today's ABS brakes systems, the whole thing was so slow to respond it was actually dangerous in many circumstances.

Cras equipped with the system were recalled and had the systems disconnected.
