Did The '92 Ls400 Have An Automatic Parking Brake Release?

Our 2003 LS400 does not have an automatic parking brake release for when I shift out of Park, but I could swear my '92 did. Did the '92 release the parking brake automatically?

Thank you, now I will no longer be thinking Lexus was cutting costs by the time they made my 2003. :P

My parking brake gets used exactly once per year and that is at inspection. There is a release under the left side of the dash on mine.

No, my 90' had the release on the instrument panel.

Can you believe that our old 1976 Lincoln Town Car had an automatic parking brake release? It did, our 78' Town Car did and even my grandmothers old 1972 Lincoln Town Car did. Alot of 70s Fords seemed to have auto parking brake release... my uncle has a 1972 Ford Thunderbird that has the auto brake release, as well as anti-lock brakes (factory)! It should have alot of neat features for the day, because it stickered for over $8000 in 1972! That was an expensive car in its day.
