Hi all, from what I understand, the longs are double thickness? Is it the same all the way through the car, as in the top, bottom, and sides of them? Just trying to understand how these cars are built. Photos would really help. Thanks!

Nash looks like they take the cake!

VW was close behind with the Bettle (which sold thousands of times better).

I consider the beetle as Uni-body. Some might not.

I would say no to the beetle, it had a spine for structure IIRC
