ABSTRACT:
An automobile has a plastic body bonded to a steel frame and a plastic molded unitary front end pivotably connected to the frame and releasably connectable by means of elastic straps to the body. The single-piece front end establishes the front hood, left and right front fenders, and front fascia of the automobile, thereby minimizing body joints and simplifying assembly. The front end can be pivoted at a pivot point located near the front fascia to a drive position to cover the engine of the automobile. In the drive position, a rear edge of the front end is closely spaced from the body, and the front end can be engaged with the body by means of the elastic straps. Further, the straps can be released from the body and the front end pivoted to a maintenance position, wherein the rear edge of the front end is distanced from the body to permit access to the engine of the automobile.
