The object of the program is to develop a rear end structure with improved crash energy control characteristics for late-model unitized construction American-built automobiles. Baseline impact tests were conducted to determine the performance characteristics of conventional automobiles in rear end impacts, and to provide a basis for later evaluation of modified vehicles. Three tests were conducted with unmodified 1968 Plymouth sedans. These consisted of longitudinal barrier, 30-degree barrier, and vehicle-to-vehicle impact tests. Test speeds were 40 mph for the barrier tests, and 60 mph for the vehicle-to-vehicle test. (Author)
