The Multi-Materials Organizing Committee of the Society of Automotive Engineers, Inc., sponsored a deck lid design competition between steel, aluminum and fiberglas composites. The design input is ultimately to serve as a basis for developing manufactured part cost which will be compared in a follow-on report by Pioneer Engineering. The design envelope and performance criteria were tailored to a present production Oldsmobile Omega deck lid.
