There should be a old car ping.
I have a lot of old stuff. I had the family out in my 1969 Vista Cruiser today. It has drum brakes. You really need to pay attention with that one. The only worse car to drive is my 1969 Camaro that was ordered with manual drum brakes. You sometimes need to use two feet and pull up on the wheel to get enough pressure down to get that to stop. I doubt though that the old lady hot rods like I do.
My 67 Camaro is up on blocks, will be back on the road hopefully in december. Both the Bel Air and Camaro have the drum brakes, but I think the Bel Air stops easier to tell the truth.
I hear you on the drum brakes. My dad recently bought a ‘66 Mustang with drum brakes and they really are a different animal from modern disk brakes. It’s a fun car to drive though in large part because the driving experience is so different. Slow heavy brakes, long hood, big steering wheel, primitive chassis and handling, and a hot V8.
