Abstract
A body for a motor vehicle, particularly a passenger car, has a bottom part and a top part, the bottom part and the top part being connected with one another approximately at the level of a belt line. So that an existing bottom part can be provided with different top parts in a simple manner and a good connection is achieved between the bottom part and the top part, separate junction elements are arranged in common connecting areas on the bottom part as well as on the top part, and interact with one another in a form-locking manner when the vehicle body is assembled. In addiition, a releasable connection is provided in each connecting area between the corresponding junction elements which are disposed above one another.
