I recall buying used tires for spares (I told the dealer, in order to preserve my pride) but they always ended up on my old Rabbit. I often had three different tires on the ground and a fourth type in the trunk. Ah, the poor but honest days as a social worker.

The vehicle has a transverse leaf spring in the rear to which the live rear axle is attached. There are trailing arms from the axle to the frame. (tubes running toward the driveshaft and ending just behind the transmission). Incidentally there IS a visible transmission.

See the undercarriage. It had a muffler, drive shaft and rear brakes. No front brakes or transmission. I wonder how the rear axles hold to the frame.. it looks it can snap off quite easily. Notice that the rear tires are wider than the front tires.
