I have a '57 Chevy FSM from when I had one in the '70s, if that helps.

Tip of the hat for someone dailying a Tri-five, BTW.
But to be honest I'd want to upgrade the braking system.


Thanks, the car is a blast to drive. The only problem with it is I have to talk to everyone at the gas station and stop lights.

I should have updated the braking system but now that everything is new I hate to do it all over again...
