I own a 48 Custom Eight with Manual brakes and a 56 Patrician with power brakes.I live in the NYC Metropolitan Area where people drive like Aholes. Both of my cars will stop on a dime as straight as an arrow.Why would you convert? I have a friend who has a 34 Standard Eight with mechanical brakes and it stops better than both of my cars.I think it just a matter of how you drive and how you maintain your car.
