1959 Brakes forget about it



Hello Rex,
If there is one thing I would not attempt to fiddle with on my '59 Imperial, 
it is the brakes, unless I was some kind of super mechanic. Even when my 
mechanic was getting my '59 running again, this was the area of the most 
headaches! Pulling the drums, and an especially stubborn one on the back 
passenger side, then watching the leaks, and trying to determine where they 
were coming from. My feeling is brakes are one of the most important parts of 
a two ton Imperial, and I want to be sure it is going to stop. After hearing 
Hugh's horror story with his '58 brakes, I am seriously considering putting 
on a more updated system with back ups. Of course maybe Hugh should have a 
'59 the true ultimate Imperial, but there are those who go on living their 
lives in a state of disillusionment. Bring it to a good mechanic, and have 
the whole system redone, after all you don't want to wreck the world's most 
beautiful car!
