Cadillac had air bag suspension in '57 thru 60-'61 ish.
Big problem, the cars would lose pressure in the bags and squat down, the little commpressor driven off the engine (on the back of the PS pump or gen) would have to work for 20 mins. to pump the car up and in the end there is no real advantage, the bag is just like a coil spring, it is still reacting against the area of the chassis carrying the largest concentrated mass in the vehicle, the engine (which makes the bumps that mush more pronounced)

Torsion Level is still better!
