Abstract: A small, lightweight, three-wheel two-passenger automotive vehicle has a rigid, open main box frame of tubular steel formed by two spaced side rails joined by front and rear rails, with a motor mount frame extending forwardly from the main frame; a unitary, one-piece tub of molded, glass fiber reinforced resin fills most of the main frame opening and peripheral flanges on the tub are resiliently mounted on the side rails of the main frame. The bottom of the tub extends below the side rails of the main frame, affording a support floor and side walls for a passenger compartment encompassed by the main frame and also providing a cover or support, or both, for such vehicle components as a hand brake lever, gear shift lever, fuel tank, transmission, etc. A unitary, one-piece body shell of molded, glass fiber reinforced resin is resiliently mounted on the tub and covers the exterior of the main frame; a unitary one-piece fiber glass hood is provided to complete the vehicle body.
