All things being the same in the universe as they have previously been to my knowledge, for the either '59, or '60, not quite sure through the '66 model year there has not been, nor is there, but hopefully one day there will be, a disk brake conversion kit. You mention that your friends with fine Chrysler products were able to get conversion kits for his Forward Look vintage MoPar's. That is great! They have 10-inch brakes. Imperial is Imperial, and not the same. Imperial has 12-inch brakes so the kits mentioned would not be a viable alternative. In addition, you must consider the vented rims, and since there are no aftermarket rims available other than Ford truck rims of a certain vintage, and the wire wheels offered via Coker, owners of Imperials of the above-mentioned years are SOL for disk conversion. Having just had Doris serviced, or rejuvenated if you will, Doris's brakes work wonderfully, and will scare the doo doo out of anybody who cuts Doris off in heavy traffic at the last second to avoid the off ramp and then slams on the brakes for stopped traffic ahead. Having cut me off and taken up my stopping room (this happened Monday) I hit the brakes, hard, and the rears locked up, burning rubber, a slight breakaway from the rear, and Boy Howdy! Cars around me scattered! The car that cut me off made a panicked maneuver into the emergency portion of the highway, but Doris handled the 6000 lb car screeching tires to a sudden halt panic stop flawlessly. Mr. or Ms. Dummass who cut me off will think twice about that again, or pick another itsy-bitsy import to cut off. Those old classic Dead Teenager songs from the early 60's are true: "The last thing I remember was the sound of screeching tires and busting glass" is a line from "Teen Angle" I think, or some similar song. Remember a happy moment in your life for the next five seconds, and then with that memory go forward and make today a great day everyone! Wm. R.
