There may have been a hydraulic system installed on one of the car shows and I know they have also featured the Electroboost setups.

Craig's old Panther site featured the work done by his friend Paul adapting a hydraulic boost unit on a 56 Executive. No idea if the aftermarket places had them so readily available at that time because I think his was adapted from a Continental. At any rate he said it worked very well.

While the Hydro systems are much smaller than the vacuum booster and will most likely fit under the floor of a standard suspension car without too much issue, they still require a ratio or about 4:1 and not the 1:1 BTVs use that so many wanting modern brakes are trying to work around.
