The trunk of a Bugatti Type 44, circa 1928
Here's proof that, before cars had trunk space, they literally had trunks attached to their backs. This is the Bugatti Type 44 from the late 1920s, spotted at the annual Concours d'Elegance car show in Pebble Beach yesterday. The Ford Model A, which also came into production around the same time, also featured an attached trunk &mdash it wasn't until several models later that the trunk was integrated into the car.

In Great Britain, though, they had boots strapped to the back of the car instead of trunks.
