I have a 1958 Cloud.  Brakes are still more than a comparable car of that era, however, they still have a simple enough system.   Just not the typical set up.  The brakes are servo driven power brakes.  The servo is powered off the transmission.  There are 2 master cylinders and two brake fluid reserviors.  The brake pedal engages the servo which provides power to the 2 master cylinders which each work one front and one back brake.  There is also a mechanical link if that goes out.  So there is in effect a tripple system.  Its all in knowing how it all works.  After that its not complicated. The brake servo should be serviced every 2 yrs.  When set up right they have great brakes.

Hope this helps.
