The trunk is the space for suitcases!
The trunk is, as the name suggests, the space for the luggage. Normally, it is certainly the least attractive and most insignificant part of the car.
You need it to store your personal belongings, but no one enhances it or shows it off proudly like the engine compartment, which is usually located on the opposite side. Even we only photograph it in the rarest of cases, because a glance under the lid often reveals little more than the expected black hole. Take the 1974 Fiat 128 Rallye, for example.
Every now and then, a nice or rare, well-preserved tool set is photographed in the trunk, as it often finds its place here with the spare wheel. But then there really isn't much more to see and in a classic car, the capacity of the storage space is no longer a purchase criterion.
But there is no rule without an exception. Like a sinfully expensive beauty case, the "trunk" of the Maserati 2000 GT only revealed its very best side.
Perfect side boxes make oil, rags and lead additive disappear. You would prefer not to use the fuel filler neck at all so as not to spill any oil. Even the fantastic Borrani spare spoke wheel seems completely out of place here.
And so we occasionally experience surprises that encourage us to look under all the lids again and again. Because, as this example clearly shows, you never know what is really hidden under the trunk lid.
