Abstract

A rear trunk for a vehicle having a rear wall which is inclined with respect to a bottom portion of the trunk such that it overhangs the bottom of the trunk. The opening of the trunk may be narrower than the bottom of the trunk without requiring complicated manufacturing steps. The body of the trunk can be formed in this shape as an integral piece by blow molding. An inner member can be included which divides the interior space of the trunk body into separate compartments, and may be blow molded integrally with the trunk body.
