The '54 would have had the two-speed powerflite, right? I was surprised and shocked to hear the brakes broke! I popped a front brake hose on my '50 Windsor one time in the midst of an emergency stop. Banh--right to the floor. I yanked the emergency brake and locked up the rears and got shut down, but only after doing some fancy maneuvering. This brings up the value of dual/split braking systems that retain braking to two wheels if a hose or some other failure occurs. Like accepting seat belts, I'd like to see the judging of our 300's not deduct for safety modifications such as improved braking.

You would think someone in professional journalism could spell brakes correctly, not breaks as in the article. Nice info though, I thought '55 was the first year for Chrysler.
