Why It Matters
The production 1959 Corvette used four-wheel 11-inch hydraulic drum brakes without power assist. RPO 686 added heavy-duty metallic linings, while RPO 684 included heavy-duty brakes with the racing suspension. Hardware, dates, engine/transmission eligibility, and service history should support a factory-equipment claim.
