The brake pedal came into contact with the Drum brake on the rear wheels. The Model D had a wheelbase of 112 in (2,845 mm) and was offered as a 5 passenger touring car, 4-door landaulet or 4-door sedan, with a retail price of US$4,000 ($120,637 in 2021 dollars [3]) for the Landaulet, while the Cadillac Model D was sold for US$2,800.[2] The previously offered 2-door roadster was now given its own designation called the Model DR.[2]
