Where to purchase parts for vintage cars?

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I have a 1950 Plymouth Deluxe 2 Door Coupe. I need to replace the brakes on it, and although I can do it myself, I'm having a hard time finding the brake shoes anywhere other than eBay, which is not where I want to purchase quality braking components.

I've tried NAPA, PepBoys, Advanced Auto, and although I can find the brake cylinders, I cannot find the shoes.

Can anyone recommend a reputable vendor that sells quailty 1950s vintage brake components?

Thank you,
Sergio

I remember when I was growing up I could take the shoes down and have them relined. Maybe JCWhitney.com or maybe just brake lining material and do it yourself kit
