Default Corvette cargo

I am looking to rent a vette while I am in Vegas later this year and need to know if I can get my luggage from the airport to hotel in the trunk of a vert (manual top). I have seen the thread with trunk dimensions on the forum. One of the cars show a partition betw/ trunk and rag and a responder has none because, he claims, his is a manual. Are the partitions removable? Do power tops have a partition and manuals not? Thanks.

Signed,

Desperately Desiring Vette
(not Chevette)

The partition drops down and out of the way in the auto top, not sure if the manual is any different.

Thanks for replying but does this mean that with the roof up the partition is not in the way of luggage?

When the top is up you can unsnap the partition and store more stuff. It folds down flat on the trunk floor.

If it is a power top, the top will not go down if the partition is not in place. You have to make sure it is tightly snapped.

Previous Corvette was a convertible. The extra storage space was great, but couldn't put the top down. Don't know about the manual tops.

Have fun!

What WMark said is correct, you sacrifice the ability to put the top down if you un-snap the partition and store stuff where the top normally rests when down. The partition only serves to keep you from putting stuff in the tops way upon lowering it.

Thanks, the color looks even better in person.
