Have there been that many 57-59 Imperials involved in mishaps due to faulty
brakes? Was there ever a recall?
If you "modernize" the brake system, is it still a 57-59 Imperial?
No I don't own one, and have never ridden in one either, just
wondering.

All of this talk about the poor brake system
on the 57-59 Imperials has me wondering if I should just upgrade the whole
system to a later year Imperial's. It would be nice to be able to check the
brake fluid level on my own, and knowing there is some redundancy in the
system would also be more reassuring. If I go this route, it would probably be
best to do it now before I rebuild the booster, but which year Imperial had a
better dual master system which would be compatible with my '59? I would of
course save all of the original parts as I have in the past in case anyone who
gets the car after I am dead and gone wants to put it back the way it was. My
main focus here is not originality, but rather safety.
