No Carmine, Mopar was NOT first.....Packard was (1955)
T'would not have argued with you Anthony, as I am a bit of a Packard fan myself. However, weren't T-bars optional on Packards, or was this just the load-leveling feature? I have a book called "Chrysler Imperials 1945-1968" which shows a pictures of design mules built around 1955, before the switch to T-bars in 1957. One of them uses torsion bars with an independant rear axle and 4-wheel discs. Has more in common with a 2005 Viper than anything from the 50s! Damn bean counters!
