As Kevin said, Ford had composite before the end of Model A production, and Ford referred to them as for "HEAVY DUTY" use, which could mean taxi cabs. It may have been in the SERVICE LETTERS where I read about them.

I have a complete drivetrain from a March 1930 Model A that was rodded. It has steel drums and composite linings, and they are in nice condition, and perfectly smooth.
