Leaf springs, straight axle, manual steering, standard transmission, hot and often stinky, 50 mph, lots of wind noise
VERSUS coil springs, A-arms and ball joints, power steering, choice of standard or automatic, roomy interior with available a/c, easy 70mph cruising, quiet enough to carry on a conversation in a normal voice. Which do you want? I chose the slow stinky one cause it's just so darn cool.
