Never. Studebaker had a sort of semi-self adjusting brake in 47-53 and again with full self adjusters in '63, don't know when the rest got them.

In high school I worked as a neighborhood gas station mechanic, circa 1961-2. One of my favorite jobs was adjusting brakes (we'd pull a front drum to check linings. If good, then adjust them all for a buck fifty). I'd do a couple of dozen each week and got pretty good and fast at it. Then one day a new Ford came in. No grease fittings, aluminized exhaust and self adjusting brakes. Did Ford really have A Better Idea? There went the era of thousand mile Marfak lubricating service.
