The T/L suspension was as simple in principal as a coil sprung car, and as reliable and trouble free, especially when compared to the air suspension monsters Cadillac made after T/L debuted.
Someone in 1955 might have thought it unproven and gone with coils and leafs, but that would be their loss. The only real problems with T/L cars beyond corrections with links is electrical, and people today are as lost on thiis as they were in '55-'56, preferring to bodge up the electrics bringing it down to their level instead of understanding what the manufacturer was doing.
