In automotive usage, a lead sled is a standard production automobile with a body heavily modified in particular ways (see below); especially, though not exclusively, a 1949, 1950 or 1951 model year Ford 'Shoebox' or Mercury Eight car. In the name, "lead" (as in the heavy metal) refers to the use of lead as a bodyfiller in early days, and "sled" refers to the lowering of the vehicle, giving these vehicles the appearance that they were "slip sliding" down the highway.

  • Con Lead Sled (slitta di piombo) si intendeva inizialmente una automobile che era stata ampiamente riparata e/o modificata. Il termine venne creato perché veniva usato il piombo come stucco per effettuare le riparazioni della carrozzeria. In questo periodo il termine era usato in senso dispregiativo. (it)

  • In automotive usage, a lead sled is a standard production automobile with a body heavily modified in particular ways (see below); especially, though not exclusively, a 1949, 1950 or 1951 model year Ford 'Shoebox' or Mercury Eight car. In the name, "lead" (as in the heavy metal) refers to the use of lead as a bodyfiller in early days, and "sled" refers to the lowering of the vehicle, giving these vehicles the appearance that they were "slip sliding" down the highway. Period auto body repair, by an auto body mechanic used to be achieved through a combination of re-shaping sheet metal using specialist hand tools and the application of molten lead to damaged body panels, fulfilling the role of more modern polyester fillers. The same techniques were also used in high end low volume car production (coachbuilding) and adopted for aftermarket hot rodding body panel modifications. Given that lead is toxic, the effective management of health hazards arising from autobody work with this material must include the exposure realms of fumes and dusts. (en)
  • Con Lead Sled (slitta di piombo) si intendeva inizialmente una automobile che era stata ampiamente riparata e/o modificata. Il termine venne creato perché veniva usato il piombo come stucco per effettuare le riparazioni della carrozzeria. In questo periodo il termine era usato in senso dispregiativo. In seguito, con l'introduzione degli stucchi realizzati con sostanze artificiali, quali il Bondo, il termine indicava le grandi automobili full-size prodotte negli Stati Uniti durante gli anni cinquanta. Una vettura Lead Sled viene realizzata oggi più per lo stile che per la velocità quindi vengono eliminate tutte le modanature mentre l'altezza delle sospensioni viene ridotta. Modelli comuni di vetture Lead Sled sono le Ford e le Mercury del 1949 e le Cadillac del 1959. (it)
