The man behind it is Mr Walther C. Jerome, of worchester, Mass.
As its name implies, assuring the survival of its occupants in a crash situation was the primary purpose of its designer.
It was built in 1959, using a 1948 Hudson Sedan as the basis. Jerome hoped to convince the major car makers to purchase his automotive safety ideas and adapt them to their own products. among these ideas there was an articulated, two-section body with engine, drivetrain and steering up frontand control and passenger cabin in the rear. Also, both body sections were ringed by heavy-duty bumpers and the driver occupied an elevated, centally-located seat with a panoramic view of the road. No manufacturers lined up to buy his patents and Jerome also got no orders for complete cars. The lone example built ...survives...in the collection of Edward Moore in Bellingham, Mass.
