IML: 1965 Imperial - Brake Trouble



>>>> Please read the confidentiality statement below <<<<

My '65 Crown developed a brake fade issue.  The peddle goes to the floor, but can be pumped up.  Most times on the first push of the pedal, like a hard or quick stop, the brakes are fine, no grinding, stops great.  But, if I let off the brake pedal a bit and push again, it goes to the floor.  This is most noticeable when I am pulling into the garage, kind of holding pressure on the pedal, idling in, then, pedal to the floor, no brakes, so I have to quick pump it to avoid hitting the work bench.  Same for easing up to stop lights.   
 
I have no fluid leaks, and the reservoir is full. It feels like air in the lines, but I'm not sure how that could be if I haven't disconnected anything.  I am hoping it's not the power brake booster, how can I check that?  And, can they be rebuilt?  Purchased?  Thanks.
