Many GM cars, starting in the late s, were built in a similar fashion to the Hudson. In fact most high-end automobile manufacturers concentrated on the engineering and design of the mechanical components of their automobiles, not unlike many commercial vehicle manufacturers today. The buyer would order a complete automobile chassis, then shop a large variety of coach builders for a stylish body and interior. The chassis would be shipped to the coach builder for completion of the final product for the buyer.
Still another style of body construction is exclusively associated with Italian designs houses. The Italian Carrozzeria Touring coach builder first adapted it for road cars and named it Superleggera means super light from German race car designs, starting around Instead of using wood or steel framing, they fabricated a tubular frame for the body which they covered with an aluminum or steel body skin.
Previous lightweight construction efforts in- volved covering a wooden body frame with imitation leather, or even more un- usual was fabricating a body entirely out of wicker. They formed and shaped thin-wall tubing to the desired contours and shaped sheet steel or aluminum to this to create the body. This technique allowed for incredibly new looking curves and streamlining. This is particularly true if your project has sustained accident damage which was not properly repaired.
Also when the body panels are made of alumi- num, dielectric corrosion is a common and terminal condition of age where steel tubing and aluminum touch. This is just as damaging but not as ugly as rust. But initially a platform was made of round cross-section tubing of various thicknesses and diameters welded together to make a frame, plus sheet metal welded to this tubing to pro- vide additional structural rigidity, floors, and inner body panels.

Material selection and mass estimation in preliminary design. Summary Provides comprehensive coverage of the fundamental principles of automobile body structure design.
The focus is on creation of a body structure concept rather than analysis, and the models presented are intended to give the reader insight into the behaviour of body structural systems not available from complex analysis tools such as finite elements analysis. Bibliographic information.
