Well, eh, maybe, but the Transporter doesn't have a frunk!!! Take that VW!!!

That’s a cool finding. Yeah, maybe there was some inspiration in it. That is a nice question to ask RJ in an interview. Or just tag him on twitter. He may reply.

Other mfr's have had "tunnels" over the years also.
Dusenberg's SJ had one:

See that little shiny object between the door and the rear tire? That's the handle to open the door to the golf club storage.

I wonder what inspired VW to include under storage like that?

Could it be from buses like these?

What a great slot for a battery! Cut out the motor and covert that to EV?

I knew Auburn had a section for golf clubs in the boattail speedster but I didn't realize Duesenberg had that as well.
