The modular vehicle structure comprises components which when assembled define a basic chassis, to which a body in a selected configuration is attachable, to create an automobile of any desired style. The structure consists of identical front and rear cradles joined to opposing ends of a floor tray, on which seating is mounted. Wheel suspension fixtures are bolted to the cradles to support the wheels of the vehicle. Bumpers are attached to the ends of the cradles, the engine being mounted on either cradle. Overlying the floor tray and secured to it is a safety capsule having door openings, the capsule acting as a truss for the chassis and functioning as the cockpit section of a body. The body is completed by front and rear body sections secured to the cradles. |
