1950's Crash Test Safety & Floating Front Clips, Tough Love? Maybe But Don't Lose Your Head Over It!
Рет қаралды 202
Күн бұрынGetting this 1958 Ford Tudor 300 parts car out of the Junkyard was tough, as it was in a bad spot, and as you can see, it took a BAD hit getting it out of there. So instead of crying over spilt milk let's dive into 1950's automotive safety where you can see the beginnings of "crumple-zone" designs that help save lives to this very day.
Back in these years (all the way back to the beginnings) they used what is called the "Floating Front Clip" or "Floating Nose" design, and in it I do my best to explain how this design actually works to absorb that shock energy in the event of a front-end collision.
I hope you all enjoy my rambles and bambles in this as I get all the stuff together to get this 58 Ford 300 back on the road to take to the 2nd annual running of the #NoNameNationals this coming September in Sikeston MO.
See you all there!

Great info! Lots to ponder and good to see Fords interpretation of the pre crumple zone days! It is not too far off from the tri five Chevy's 2 bolts on the radiator saddle and 4 bolts on the back inner and outer fender attachment points. The tudor still looks to be in decent repairable condition! Keep up the great work and I look forward to the next one!

Yeah, same exact principle, and I think all of them followed that for years. They are actually safer than most people think, esp when you change the seat and column. Those ULTRA heavy non-latching seats kinda threw you into that solid shaft steering column.

Reality is, the steering column would shove you into the back seat, before the hood would get you. 😅

that and those 100lbs seats didn't latch, so they threw you into that solid shaft column.... lol. maybe that was the secret to it? the seat was designed to fold you in half so you would duck that hood.... lololol.

That floating front end design was used on the GM cars of the era also . I looking forward to see what you do with that car it should be a cool piece

I think pretty much all of them used this, and it sure makes them easy to just pop the nose off to get in there and work on them.... lol.

Too bad it got smashed like that. From some of the vintage safety videos I have watched you where more at risk of being impaled by the steering column or flying through the windshield. Ouch 😳

You're gonna make it a tilt front end anyway, right?
@BareRoseGarage Жыл бұрын
The thought did cross my mind on this one but I'm really on the fence about it. All steel tilts are old school cool as all get out..... but boy oh boy do they make a lot of noise.
