Abstract

A motor vehicle which includes a rearward body end member which is adapted to be swung upwardly about a transverse axis of the vehicle. The body end member consists essentially of a synthetic resinous material and includes a rear window and an end wall. Lighting elements such as, for example, taillights, brake lights, flashers, back-up lights, or the like, are arranged on a side of the body end member facing an interior of the vehicle. The body end member is transparent in an area of the lighting elements so as to enable light to be visible from an exterior of the vehicle.
