Japanese automobile manufacturers were working on developing small cars according to a plan calling for the production of a "people's car" as advocated by Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry.
The Subaru 360 was developed in line with this concept.
In those days, passenger cars were too expensive to be within the reach of most people.

Subaru 360's were the first line of vehicles produced by Fuji Heavy Industries, (parent company of Subaru). They were first introduced in Japan in 1958.

The Subaru 360s were "offically" imported to the U.S. in 1968 by Malcolm Bricklin.
Most of them remained unsold even three years later. They were retailing for about $1,300, and one dealer was offering 6 of them for $2,000, brand new!

They came in four different body types. Two sedans - the standard which was white, and the Young, sport model, which was yellow, vans and the rarest - the pickups.

Those that did buy them found parts and service hard to find, since Subaru did not import them they were not obligated to honor them.

This is a Japanese Market model of the Subaru 360 line
that was not exported to the US.

1968 Subaru 360 Sambar

Japanese automobile manufacturers were working on developing small cars according to a plan calling for the production of a "people's car" as advocated by Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry.
The Subaru 360 was developed in line with this concept.
In those days, passenger cars were too expensive to be within the reach of most people.

Subaru 360's were the first line of vehicles produced by Fuji Heavy Industries, (parent company of Subaru). They were first introduced in Japan in 1958.

They came in several body types. A Sedan, a wagon called the "Custom", Vans and the rarest - the Pickups.

This "Sambar" pickup is a Japanese Market model, hence the Right Hand Drive.

Manufacturer: Fuji Heavy Industries, Tokyo Japan

・ The monocoque construction originates from aircraft. Instead of ensuring overall strength and rigidity using frames, outer panels necessary for creating the vehicle shape are given the minimum necessary reinforcement. This ensures strength and rigidity and is also referred to as stressed-skin construction. It has the double advantage of reducing waste and mass.
・In Japan, this technology was first used in a frameless rear-engined bus. It was then applied to the Subaru 360, and subsequent passenger vehicles.
・At that time, vehicle bodies of both trucks and passenger cars were created on a frame like a house. Thanks to the mass reduction of parts and application of the monocoque body, the Subaru 360 was light and strong. The dynamic performance of its 360 cc engine rivaled that of 1-liter power plants.

Model / Manufacture     
Familiar name : Monocoque body

Company name : Fuji Heavy Industries, Ltd.

Location of actual vehicle : Subaru Gallery (Ohta)

Installation vehicle : Subaru 360

Year of manufacture : 1958

Designed by : Kozo Murota


   
Structure, type, measure, means, etc. : "Mono" in "monocoque" means "single" and "coque" means a shell like that of an egg. A monocoque body is a eggshell-like car body, and also is referred to as stressed-skin construction.

Function, effect, etc. : Monocoque construction originates from aircraft. Instead of ensuring overall strength and rigidity using frames, outer panels necessary for creating the vehicle shape are given the minimum necessary reinforcement to ensure strength and rigidity.

Effect : No-waste, mass-reducing structure

Features : Round eggshells are strong. This principle was applied to the Subaru 360 monocoque body. As a result, the vehicle was light and had large cabin space. It also had enough strength and rigidity to resist torsional stress and deflection.
