Motor vehicle rear body module has hinged and detachable roof panel for converting coupe into station wagon or pick-up

摘要

The rear body module for a two-door coupe consists of a frame supporting a hinged and detachable roof panel (8) containing the rear windscreen. The frame can be set in two positions - one in which the roof panel extends from a front fixed roof section (9) to the top of a rear tailgate (2), and a second in which the rear end of the detachable roof panel is raised to give a station wagon configuration, with additional windows (28, 43) covering the side and rear gaps. With the detachable roof panel removed and a sliding window (23) fitted behind the vehicle's front seats (14) the vehicle has a pick-up configuration.
