bodyside

noun

1. The side of the body of a motor car (or other vehicle).

   “There are no bodyside parcels racks, but a slatted shelf is provided at the base of each chair, under the seat, for light articles such as brief cases or handbags. The tables are supported on a single metal leg of pleasing style on the inside and on two bodyside supports.”

   “Although exhibiting some typical Bulleid design features — the continuous curve of the bodyside and the toplights above the door droplights being particularly characteristic — the interior of the vehicles owed much to Maunsell era practice.”
