<VV> Chrysler Airflow: Unibody?

[Mel Francis]

I don't think front fenders have to weld in place, in order for the body 
shell to be called a uni-body.
What's really important, is that there's not a separate frame under the main 
body structure.

Think of the Porsche, a definite uni-body and it has front fenders that bolt 
on, as do many other uni-body makes, since they're
more likely to need replacing, usually being the first damaged.

Come to think of it, Corvairs would have been much more serviceable with 
bolt-on front fenders, too!
