i'm guessing you have the 1959 1/2 11x2.1/2" shoes unless your car has the optional 12" brakes.

You could always keep the shoes you have and find a local place to have them re-lined.

I have a '58 windsor as well and felt like I paid through the nose with Andy Bernbaum. I got the right shoes from him. However the cylinders and springs were a different story. Not to mention the faulty master cylinder....

Lots of that stuff can be sourced from NAPA, I got wheel cylinders, and M/C overhaul kit from them, Kanter Bros for the shoes.
