Default C4 Trunk

I posted this about 4 years ago but many of you newer members have never seen it.
I found this sitting outside the Mid America tent at the Bloomington Gold show in 2013 (?). They were setting up and no one was there to answer any questions.
I found out later that this was a test mule to find out how the trunk would work on the upcoming C5s.
Enjoy!

correct - that was an engineering mule for the upcoming C5 (basically, a C5 in C4 wrappings). it might be referred to as CERV IV. I saw that thing in a NCM photoshoot.
