When I start my '70 Ghia, release the emergency brake, and try to drive, the care won't move until I give it lots of acceleration. It feels as though something is keeping the wheels from turning. Then it pops and I can drive. Is it maybe a drum or disc that is sticking?

It sounds like your emergency brake is sticking. Lube up the pivot points on it and you should be good to go.

Are you in a humid or rainy area? Sounds like your brake shoes are sticking. Happens to me after driving in the rain...

Maybe you should grease the brake shoe friction surface? :wink:
