I'm sure by now we've all read that when the Landcrab hit the road in 1964 it afforded the highest tortional stiffness of any production car. As its sales brochure states "that's double"
The figure achieved on the test rig must have amazed the engineers.
I've never seen any film of this test so I can only imagine,as the body began creaking and groaning the tortion meters going into the red,and men in white coats dipping down behind the desk as welds begun bursting and bits started flying off.
I dont think many cars have achieved this sort of tortional strength. Even to this day, it probably still ranks as one of the strongest production cars ever built. If only it was given today's rust proofing.
