Where is the parking brake on the Buick GL8?

[Roman]

The Buick GL8 does not have a handbrake. Its parking brake is foot-operated and located to the left of the clutch in the driver's compartment. The foot brake can effectively reduce misoperation of the gear lever while driving, making it safer and more effortless. 1. Brakes: Brakes are used for stopping. Brakes are divided into service brakes (foot brake) and parking brakes (handbrake). During driving, the service brake (foot brake) is generally used to slow down and stop while moving forward. 2. Function of the brake: The handbrake is not only used to keep the car stationary but also serves as a backup if the service brake fails. When the car is parked, the parking brake (handbrake) should be used to prevent the vehicle from sliding forward or rolling backward. After parking, in addition to using the parking brake, it is advisable to shift to a lower gear when on an uphill slope (to prevent rolling backward) and to first or second gear when on a downhill slope, without pressing the accelerator, relying solely on gear braking to control the downhill speed (to prevent sliding forward).
