Hey, don't get me wrong! I do like the self-level system ... when it was working. I just don't feel comfortable working with any electrical systems. I really want it to work again.

I believe that in 1955, Packard bit off more than it could chew -- it was still moving into the Connor plant, it was bringing out a new body, it released its first V-8 engine, it released its new Twin-Ultramatic, and it was the first American car with a full torsion-bar suspension with self-leveling. Just a couple of those items would have been a big deal with most carmakers at that time.

That there were as few problems with those new cars is a testament to Packard innovation and quality.
