I'm still running drums on all four wheels of my '56 and '59 Dodges... If properly calibrated and aligned, they work beautifully... The trick is learning how to / finding someone who knows how to properly adjust 'em. There is one thing I'm planning at some point in the future, though... I'd like to go with a DUAL Master Cylinder... No big expense... just a little extra peace of mind for the classic - and otherwise unmolested - stock hardware. Some say drums are outdated... but I can't justify (much less AFFORD) the thousand bucks to "upgrade" to discs. This coming from someone who cruises in the '56 about 200 miles/week (weather permitting).
