Vehicle body construction with slimly shaped front pillar

摘要

The front pillar consists of three sheet-formed members, each of which is bent lengthwise to form a central crease, assembled back to back and in close contact with each other so that the three ridges of the respective creases form one line and the cross-section of the pillar is Y-shaped. The front pillar is arranged such that the front windshield and a window glass panel are mounted on the pillar partitioned by one leg of the letter Y, while the remaining side of the pillar is exposed to the interior of the body.
