Denver Auto Body Ford

Prestige Imports

The Prestige Imports Collision Repair Center is pleased to deliver Denver auto body services for Ford automobiles from its Denver, Colorado area facility. The Denver area facility provides auto body and collision repair services for all makes and models. The Prestige Imports Collision Repair Center is manufacturer certified by multiple automobile makers.

Since auto body services are in some ways tied to automobile safety, we take note of automobile manufacturers’ improvements in safety. Ford recently released an announcement drawing attention to its introduction of the world’s first automotive inflatable seat belts. The seat belts are designed to provide additional protection for rear-seat occupants. The announcement from Ford cites the prevalence of head, chest and neck injuries for children and older passengers.

The inflatable rear seat belts will be first available on the Ford Explorer SUV that goes into production in the next model year. The advancement of inflatable seat belt technology will eventually be available on vehicles worldwide.

According to Ford, the inflatable rear seat belts spread crash forces over five times more area of the body than conventional seat belts. The effect helps reduce pressure on the chest as well as control head and neck motion for rear seat passengers. As for comfort, more than 90 percent of Ford’s research participants cited the inflatable seat belts being similar to or more comfortable than traditional belts. The comfort factor suggests no disincentive to usage. Statistically rear belt usage in the US is said to be 61% while the usage rate for front seat passengers is 82%, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data.

“Ford’s rear inflatable seat belt technology will enhance safety for rear-seat passengers of all ages, especially for young children who are more vulnerable in crashes,” said Sue Cischke, Ford group vice president of Sustainability, Environmental and Safety Engineering. “This is another unique family technology that builds on our safety leadership, including the most top safety ratings of any automaker.” “Ford is pioneering inflatable seat belt technology to help enhance crash safety protection, while encouraging more people to buckle up with a more comfortable belt,” said Paul Mascarenas, Ford vice president, Engineering, Global Product Development.

“It’s a very simple and logical system, but it required extensive trial and error and testing over several years to prove out the technology and ensure precise reliable performance in a crash situation,” said Srini Sundararajan, safety technical leader for Ford research and advance engineering.

The Prestige Imports Collision Repair Center is open Monday through Saturday. Additional information about our services is available at our website at www.denver-auto-body.com.

About Denver

The City and County of Denver is the capital and the most populous city of the state of Colorado, in the United States. Denver is a consolidated city-county located in the South Platte River Valley on the High Plains just east of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. The Denver downtown district is located immediately east of the confluence of Cherry Creek with the South Platte River, approximately 15 miles (24 km) east of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Denver is nicknamed the Mile-High City because its official elevation is exactly one mile, or 5,280 feet (1,609 m) above sea level. The 105th meridian west of Greenwich passes through Union Station, making it the reference point for the Mountain Time Zone. The city of Denver's area is much smaller than that of Colorado's second most populous city, Colorado Springs.

The United States Census Bureau estimated that the population of Denver was 598,707 in 2008, making it the 24th most populous U.S. city. The 10-county Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Statistical Area had an estimated 2008 population of 2,706,947 and ranked as the 21st most populous U.S. metropolitan statistical area and the 12-county Denver-Aurora-Boulder Combined Statistical Area had an estimated 2008 population of 3,049,562 and ranked as the 16th most populous U.S. metropolitan area. It is also the second-largest city in the Mountain West after Phoenix. Denver is the largest city in the Front Range Urban Corridor, a fast growing combined statistical area stretching across eighteen counties in two states. The population of the Front Range Urban Corridor CSA is estimated at 4,251,663. The city has the tenth-largest central business district in the United States. Source: Wikipedia.
