I assume you mean any -current- volume production car. :-) Those built for
the current weanie-yuppie masses. ;-) :-) :-)
LOTS (most?) old disk-braked cars did not have (or really need) power brake
boosters.
Same for power steering. There was a report back in the '70s after the first
gas crisis when everyone panicked and rushed out to buy economy cars. Large
increase in sore backs/shoulders because everyone had gotten used to power
steering and weren't used to actually having to put some effort into steering
anymore. :-)
