There is a fellow that has been building a car based on available info on proposed 57s that he found or has access to. He has built a frame which is supposed to have some of the next generation TL layout so might be a start. Been over a year since his last post so unknown what the current status might be.packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb ... m=10&post_id=122406#forumpost122406
There are photos of just the frame that was made and photos posted with more of the TL visible. Not sure if that was of the same frame in the link posted above or remember which forum but maybe someone else remembers where and can post a link.

When I tell engineers about the Packard system they get wide eyed because they never thought such a thing existed. Then I tell them it is still the most advanced suspension concept in the world. It uses partial differential equations to translate jounce forces into orthogonal vectors.

Thanks for the link. Amazing undertaking. Looks like he's using hydraulic rams rather than electric for the load leveler bar adjustment. The entire frame appears to be 3 or more inches lower than a 56 as the driveshaft is above it, rather than the 56's X member encircling it. The torsion bars are lower too, as in the 56, the bars pass through the forward arm of the X member near the top. Now the bars pass under the crossmember. Fascinating.
