I remember pictures of a before and after front view of a 1961 Chevy Impala.
(Photo circa mid-1960s) The front suspension had been modified to lean into
the turns. I would guess hydraulic weight jacking based on steering input. It
would probably be more fun to watch than to drive. Of course, computers today
could do much more of the work. The new GM Magna-something shocks, with the
state-changing magnetic fluid would open up all kinds of possibilities,
electronic anti-sway bars? - Seth Emerson
