imperials were designed for a time when road traffic and speeds were only a
fraction of what they are today, so I totally agree with any upgrades to the
drivability of our cars. Great stopping power certainly does'nt detract
from the personality of an older car, and once the hub caps go back on the
only way to tell the car has disk brakes is to look for the confident
and relaxed look on the drivers face, as opposed to the nervous frightened
look on the 100% original drivers face. I speak from experience my daily
driver is a 66 valiant wagon and I cant count the number of times nearly ran
over somebody, before converting, back then the car was'nt nearly as enjoyable
because of the constant fear of accidents and having to be so careful all the
time. I was seriosly considering selling it thinking it just was'nt practical
for modern traffic, now I just drive the thing like everybody else
drives their daily and dont worry bout a thing.I also live in an old house
that originally came with an out house but now has an inside bathroom and I
certainly aint going back to original on that either ! if that helps to
explain my point of veiw on the matter.
