Gen II Custom Cruiser wagon with ELECTRIC brake booster.

I remember my father replacing the brake booster in his Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser, and being unable to find the correct part. The part in the car was an electric brake booster. None of the auto parts stores at the time could find the correct part. He ended up getting a vacuum booster and pulling vacuum from somewhere to get it to work again. This was pre-internet, sometime in the early 90s. I've since been wondering what year and model that car was. I remember it had a positraction rear end and a massive motor with 4bbl carbs. I remember driving it as a teenager and absolutely smoking a mustang in a drag race. It was white with wood grain paneling, with the extra row of seats in the back (full size, super long, you didn't park it so much... you docked it). That's all the memory I have of it.

Any ideas what year and what motor it would have had in it? Thanks!

Charles.

Wasn't an Olds if it had more than one carb. Maybe it was a Chrysler product with a 413 or 426. Maybe a 440 six pak.
