Abstract
An automobile body of a front-engine-front drive type has an engine located in the engine compartment with the crankshaft directed transversely. The frame assembly for supporting the power unit comprising the engine and the transmission device is constituted by side and cross-members which are connected together to form a rectangular configuration. One of the side members is formed with a transversely inward extension on which an engine mounting bracket is provided. One of the cross-member is also connected to the extension so as to stiffen it to thereby provide a desired rigidity.
