The “Hotchkiss Drive Suspension,” that old American classic, was the life of the party from the 1930s to the ’70s. Picture this: a couple of leaf springs hanging on for dear life, U-bolted to a live axle, making handling as smooth as a rollercoaster. While modern cars flaunt their fancy independent suspensions, this system remains the grandparent at a family reunion—everyone loves it but no one’s sure why. Just remember, a smooth ride isn’t always what it springs for!
