I knew Bill Allison socially, he spoke at a couple of Motor City Packards meetings. He said (I think, this is almost 30 years ago, and memories can get fuzzy) that there were improvements to be made yet to T-L and some reduction of production cost through the redesign. He never stopped working on suspensions, he once brough all of these brass-chassis models to a meeting, showing many different ways to interconnect front and rear suspensions, using leaf springs, torsion bars, coil springs--he brought at least a dozen functions demo models.
