The only time my '55 ever had a hard pedal was when one of those chain brake/muffler shops installed new shoes and adjusted the brakes shoes so tight to the drums, the car would sit still even on a steep incline.
I got about halfway home and realized that it5 was taking waaay more power than it should to get the car moving. Immediately backed off all the brake shoe adjustments when I got home and then it was good to go.
