Speaking of which, my own 64 is sitting at a shop in Port Charlotte, geting its brakes fixed up. The 64 has drums on all four corners; I don't see this as a problem simply because millions of Fords drove billions of miles without problems using these brakes. True, disks have a better stopping distance and are less prone to fade, but a car such as this, mine at least, is relegated to light duty nowadays. It doesn't commute to work in heavy traffic, it doesn't pull trailers or take heavy loads, the steepest hill it ever climbs is the hump on the Sunshine Skyway, it hasn't seen snow in several years and rarely gets driven in the rain; it does two things -- takes me to and from car shows, and gives me a nice ride on a sunny day if the mood arises.
