My 1962 109 had been parked for a few weeks and I went to move it this weekend and as I backed up and hit the brakes and no brakes to the floor! Any idea what could have caused them to go from working to pedal to the floor in 3 weeks?

Brakes are over rated, thats why there are curbs, trees, and other cars out there to slow you down...

Did you check the fluid level?

If yes and there was some, have you adjusted the brakes lately?

Its possible your master cylinder went out. Or your significant other cut the lines...

Start troubleshooting, starting with the fluid level.
