Abstract: A modular structure formed of components which when assembled define the basic chassis of a land, sea, or air vehicle, to which chassis is attachable a body which may be a fuselage or hull in a selected configuration to create the desired vehicle. The structure consists of substantially identical front and rear cradles joined to opposing ends of a floor tray. The use to which the cradles are put depends on the nature of the vehicle, so that in the case of a land vehicle, wheel suspension fixtures are bolted to the cradles to support the wheels depending on the nature of the vehicle. Overlying the floor tray and secured thereto is a safety capsule, the capsule acting as a truss for the chassis and functioning as the cockpit section of a body which, in the case of an automobile, is completed by a front body section secured to the front cradle and a rear body section secured to the rear cradle.

Abstract: A modular structure formed of components which when assembled define the basic chassis of a motor vehicle, to which chassis is attachable a body in a selected configuration 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 thereto 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 which is completed by a front body section secured to the front cradle and a rear body section secured to the rear cradle.
