Reasons for rejecting cars for body deterioration included such conditions as gaping holes in floor pans (one opening was large enough for a child to fall through), rusted and improperly secured doors; bumpers or other parts and damaged glass. Inspectors' concern about body integrity is significant, a,ccording to Car Care Council. For years motorists have been aware of the safety haz- ards of driving with im- proper lighting, or brakes and steering that are not up to standard. But a neglected body presents a threat to. life and limb because this is the protec- tive shell in which we're encased. Properly maintained, the car's body and frame can maintain the strength necessary to provide such protection in the event of an accident. This mainte- nance includes repair and painting of sheet metal damage and preventive measures to protect against rust. Kilometers as well as miles on late models Due to Canada's con- version and pending U.S. conversion to the Metric system, some of the new 1976 model speedometers are calibrated to show both miles per hour and kilometers per hour. A kilometer is approxi- mately 60 per cent of a mile. The needle indicators on the new models show both at a glance: miles in black and kilometers in blue.
