[Cml] 59 / 60 compatibility {02}

While working at the rear brakes and suspension at Lady Leila, I know these
differences in comparison to the '59 for sure:
the rear drums are finned
the rear brakecylinders have a bigger diameter
the service brakes are self adjusting
an vacuum released parking brake
the rear coil springs are about 10% "softer" than in '59

Really, would like to own a '59 too and probably I could tell more...

and "Miss Seville", the '78 Cad
both you can inspect at http://www.noller.com/hobbies.htm
