Default 65-6 A code disc brakes?

If you have a factory A code car, the question is does it have factory disc brakes? Please only vote if you have an A code car so we can get an idea about this. I had always learned that ALL A code cars had disc brakes but everyone is telling me I'm wrong.

Looks like I'll be eating crow. Did some more reseach on line and can't find a thing about the A codes but I found a thing that says the K codes only had disc brakes as an option. If it was only an option the K code it must have only been an option on the A code also. Sorry I stand corrected. I'm so ashamed! I never claimed to know everything but I am willing to learn. I learned something today so I feel good about that.
