Abstract
The luggage storage box is mounted within the automobile luggage compartment by first and second laterally spaced apart slide tracks which are positioned respectively on opposite sides of a spare tire storage recess in the floor of the luggage compartment. The storage box includes a floor with an opening therein to allow access to the spare tire storage recess. An access panel is hingedly mounted to the box to normally close the opening in the floor panel and can be selectively raised to an open position to permit unobstructed access to the spare tire storage recess without requiring removal of the storage box from the vehicle luggage compartment.
