ABSTRACT:
An improved hinge assembly for a vehicle, such as a van having a rear door and a tail light. The hinge assembly mounts the door to the vehicle, and in addition, is hidden from view from outside the vehicle, but for edge surfaces of a pair of movable hinge members that are located within spaced gaps to either side of the tail light. The edge surfaces thereby appear to border the tail light, providing an enhanced aesthetic appearance. In addition, the movable hinge members move out through the spaced gaps, which open both sidewise and rearwardly of the vehicle body, when the door opens. Consequently, the door can open wide, outboard of the side of the vehicle.
