OP - do you want to know when ABS was invented, or when it was first put on any car, or when it was first put on a production car?

The Chrysler Imperial introduced rear ABS as an option in 1967.
The Chrysler Imperial introduced 4 wheel ABS as an option in late 1970 for the 1971 production year.

The only cars to have antilock brakes fitted before that were limited production or specialty cars - such as the 1966 Jensen FF, the Ferguson P99 racing car, and the experimental all wheel drive Ford Zodiac.

Mercedes did not offer their Bosch developed ABS until 1978.

The first production car to offer ABS as standard equipment was the 1985 Ford Granada Mk 3.

Dodge was the first company to offer 4 wheel ABS on a 4x4 truck.
