Driving a '55 Olds with skinny cross plys, factory drum brakes and that garbage can lid sized steering wheel at 90mph on a public street sounds pretty brave to me.:omg:

Thanks for pointing me in this direction Chris. I'm looking forward to being part of the club.
I reckon you'll get a shock just how quick "your wife's" Olds will be. The old Rocket engines are legendary. You won't be holding up traffic that's for sure..... even if it is an 84 year old dentist's car:zip:

Yeah but dont forget they have good roads over there where 90mph is nothing, compared to 90mph on our goat tracks we have here! I'd be scared doing 90 on any of our roads! (unless of course its a vette, then I could do 190mph!)

It'll pull up fine. My last Olds had power drums and it stopped like a disc brake car. Unlike my old Road Runner.....
While I'm a great Mopar fan, their drum brakes were woeful.
Take the 1970 Indy 500 Pace Car crash for example....
If the link doesn't work, google videos for 1971 Indy pace car crash. Mopar drums at their best. (FYI...1970 & 1972 Pace Cars were Oldsmobile Convertibles.....they didn't crash)
