Any idea when that TL trainer was built or how big the box is? It appears to have been done by another company so maybe with all the turmoil they outsourced the training stuff for 55.

There are photos of some small models of the TL chassis showing how everything connects together and moves. I think there is one demonstrated in either in the Allison movie or one of the Packard sales promo films showing off features in 55-6 cars. Could be wrong but don't think it was electrically operated. I wonder if that could be what was in the box.

In 56 Packard had a demo training panel they built themselves for the pushbutton shift. That was sent to zones or maybe dealers conducting training schools. There is a photo of that in one of the 56 service counselors. No mention I could find or remember seeing of anything like that for the TL.
