That thing looks freakin ridiculous. And useless.. it's not like you could actually put anything in it without it flying out.

If someone wanted to make a good looking C3 trailer, it would be the rear of a convertible, glassed in where it was chopped, and the rear deck would lift up on a hinge. That would be kind of cool I guess.

I saw that on ebay a while ago and there is a canvas cover that snaps on the front.

He should have put a trash can in it, so at least whoever buys it would have a trash can to put it in.

me too, I thinks its still cool, and what most have said about things flying out is false, Try this on a 2 door car open the windows, put something as clos to the back window as possible, put something in the passenger seat. Guess what the rear of the car is taking force making that item stable and the one in the passenger seat is getting sucked out. try this with paper you will be surprised.

Yep, I agree! We have a guy here that has a 57 or so that has a trailer made from a rear section of another 57, and painted to match.
He carries all of his car show crap in it. It makes a really nice presentation.
