I've not flown them much, but I seem to remember that Piper achieved something similar with the Cherokee, by limiting the elevator authority such that it tends to mush rather go into a fully developed stall, preumably due to a lack of elevator size.
The Eagle, with its canard/staggerwing biplane (take your pick) configuration is also designed to make stalls impossible, by ensuring (I believe) that the front wing stalls before the main wing, causing the nose to drop and restoring airflow over the main wing.
