A clamp includes an elastic member which comprises a generally U-shaped tube portion, two recessed portions which separately extend from the tube portion and are curved inwardly, and two gripping portions which extend from the respective recessed portions, two opposing clamp teeth each of which is mounted on the inner face of a respective gripping portion, and a fastener which urges the two gripping portions toward each other for tightening and contracting the tube portion and at the same time driving the two clamp teeth toward each other. An elongated pipe-like member runs through the tube portion of the elastic member. A portion of a damaged automobile is positioned between the two opposing clamp teeth, and then the gripping portions are tightened by the fastener so that as the elastic member of the clamp is secured on the elongated member a portion of a vehicle is gripped tightly between the clamp teeth. The clamp is particularly useful on an auto lock clamp apparatus of the type used to secure and horizontally support an automobile while body repairs are being made.
