One reason why so many current cars have crap ride quality is that they pitch badly (the front goes up as the back goes down, and vice versa). But in the past, three different techniques have been used to reduce pitch and so give better ride. Examples of these suspension systems include the Citroen 2CV, BMC's Hydrolastic and Packard's Torsion-Level Ride. But you don't even need to use a complex suspension system - minimising pitch can be as simple as specifying the correct front/rear suspension stiffness!
