ABSTRACT:
A rear body construction for an automobile vehicle of the type having a door opening at the rear of the vehicle body, has a body element that closes the door opening by way of horizontal and upright walls that form a receptacle that has a topside open toward the exterior of the vehicle. According to a preferred embodiment, the receptacle has the configuration of a trough (such as found on pick-up trucks) and is constructed so as to be utilized interchangeably with a trunk door (such as a windowed fast-back type hatch) for the purpose of closing the door opening at the rear of the vehicle, the receptacle itself having an upright section that includes a window pane which forms the rear window of the vehicle, even vehicles having front and rear seats.
