Ford designed the model a frame to support the body and provide a means to allow suspension,the actual rigidity of the chassis is the driveline,the torque tube is the 'spine' in traverse suspension systems instead of the frame as it is in hotchkiss style suspensions.The model a frame is lightweight and very flexible,given a choice,always support the car by the axles.
