sounds like an old 55 chevy i had back in 1962.. it would stop all the
time, but if you kept your foot on the brake it would go to the floor,,
take foot off the brake and reapply the pedal and it would work fine..
dont remember what we did as i was a kid at the time, teenager, but it
seems that the seals in the mast. cylinder are bad???? just a guess???
