Quote:
as the name indicates, the main aim of design was survival of driver and passenger during accident. Walter C. Jerome of Worcester, Massachusetts built the car basing on 1948 Nasha building the car Jerome hoped to convince big companies to his ideas. among those were two-part body, engine and driving wheel placed in the upper part and passanger compartment on the rear. both parts were linked with special bumpers. the driver had massive greenhouse with great view on what's going on on the road unfortunately any of producers weren't interested in the project. the only car has survived up to date and can be seen at Edward Moore's collection in Bellington, Massachusetts engine: modified six-cylinder Ford desmodronic engine made of iron, 250 cc: 3.68 x 3.91 inches, 170 KM @ 4500 rpm. two-stroke Autolite carburettor 4 gears, manual Ford gearbox, optionally there was to be offered three-gear automatic Cruise-O-Matic. 150 inches long, wheelbase: 104,5 inches, front track: 59 inches, rear 58.95; tires: 185SR x 15 name of model: SS100, price: 9000 $, weight: 2200 (of i don't know what, i'd assume kgs?)
