This document contains the results from five crash tests conducted at the Federal Outdoor Impact Laboratory (FOIL) located at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center in McLean, Virginia. The crash tests involved five Ford Festiva two-door sedans, which have been chosen as the 820C class vehicle, impacting an instrumented rigid pole. One test was performed in the summer in 1991, two tests in the fall of 1992, and two tests in the spring of 1994. The tests were performed to obtain a representative data set of Ford Festiva crush characteristics. The final results are presented as average data plots of the Ford Festiva's crush characteristics. The average curves will represent the Ford Festiva's crush characteristics to be replicated by a surrogate test vehicle and modeled using computer simulation.
