I remember those. "Crazy TV Lenny" gave away hundreds of those "free with every TV purchase" in Madison back in the late 70s. One year he got dinged because the brakes didn't meet CPSC requirements, so he hired a bunch of teenagers to replace the stock brake pads with Mathauser pads to bring the performance up to spec.
