A small car body comprises a lower half part which is integrally molded of a synthetic resin, and a front panel, a roof panel and a roll bar panel which are jointed to the lower half part. The small car body includes a chassis frame in the lower half part which is provided with a front wheel suspension arrangement. The lower half part has a central indented area for accommodating seats and outwardly extending skirts for accommodating the chassis frame.

Small car body

Automobile windows on both sides of the vehicle are curved inwardly and arcuately toward the top of the compartment and are made separate from the doors and slidably abutted at least at the front edges on the support frame for the windshield, at least either of the side windows being made openable by sliding them upwardly. When opened, they are accommodated in recesses formed for that purpose in the roof that covers a middle part of the ceiling space above the car body. Alternatively, the windows extend toward each other until their upper edges overlap along the central longitudinal line of the ceiling space above the car body, the windows being made slidable relative to each other, one over the other in a superposed relation, so that either window, when opened, is partly or fully superposed, as desired, parallelly over or under the other.
