[QUOTE=theHIGHLANDER;744201]Most of the frames from the other OEMs are pretty substantial. Consider the difference in Ford frames starting in 32. 4 years and over 4million cars, it was "good enough" but certainly called for improvement, didn't it? Would you choose a Deuce frame over an A for bouncing down rough terrain? I would. The frame under the A is clearly "acceptable" but far from superior in all but cost of production. In the end we see As that need straightening and I'd bet it's something that came up before the Deuce was introduced. Yes? No?
Certainly the gas tank support bit them in the derrier but I don't know about the frame. We have had discussions here before about what the Company felt the reasonable life of the car was. How that impacted upon its design is a fascinating question. Some of the car seems over-engineered, other aspects not so much.
