Trunk (car)

The open trunk in the rear of a Porsche Boxster
Early automobiles had provision for mounting an external trunk as on a 1931 Ford Model A, in addition to the rumble seat.

The trunk (North American English) or boot (British English) of a car is the vehicle's main storage or cargo compartment, often a hatch at the rear of the vehicle. It can also be called a tailgate.

In Indian English the storage area is known as a dickey (also spelled dicky, dickie, or diggy), and in Southeast Asia as a compartment.
