It seems that most of the convertibles I see have discs. Was this a required option?

...not sure about the 70, but my '71 came with manual drums all the way around. :(

I thought it was an option, but I've been seeing a lot with discs lately, which made me think that maybe it was required on the heavy convertible. thanks, guys.

Nope, it was an option on the Malibu.
My 70 Malibu conv came with pwr drums (only until I find a donor).
