Disc brakes are the standard throughout the world. Now 4 wheel discs seems to have taken over.
I can remember my last everyday car that had all wheel shoe type brakes. 66 Fairlane 390 - Couldn't stop worth a damn at high speeds. Next car, 68 Torino 390, ordered front discs (I think an option at that time). Much better.
