2006 Suspension Guide
The 1913 "Little Six" (marketed along side the Chevrolet Six by the Republic Motor Company) is a perfect example of early suspension technology. Up front was the state-of-the-art (for the time) semi-elliptic front spring setup and in the rear a kind of unique design called 3/4-platform suspension. As you can see, the 3/4 platform design used a front-hinged frame to support the rearend with a transverse leaf attached at one end (making up the third quarter) to provide flexibility.
