Test no. 7 of 11 tests was conducted to investigate and improve crashworthiness of compact vehicle side structures. This test was run at 35 mph at a striking angle of 60 degrees. A 1975 Ford Torino was the bullet vehicle and a modified 1976 Plymouth Volare the target vehicle. Volare modifications included a heavier door beam, stronger beam-to-door connections and tying the door structure into the sill. The modified vehicle showed significant improvement in intrusion and door velocity as compared to baseline tests.
