In case you thought they were kidding about the wicker basket.
That's why the rear storage area in a car is called a trunk. Because in the olden days, storage wasn't built into the car; they just strapped an actual trunk on there

It's one thing to keep a 1950 Hudson Hornet or Packard Super Eight on the road, but a 1913 Pope-Hartford?
Hats off to the people who looked after it.

@jalefkowit unlike in the UK, where cars had tall shoes strapped to the back

@Pamela1960 "In the case of the English 'boot', the origin is that in the 18th and 19th centuries, the coachman used to sit on a locker where he could store, among other things, his boots. For this reason, this was termed the 'boot locker' and after a while an additional compartment situated at the rear of the coach was used, also called for the same reason the 'boot' (for short)."
"Stick it in the boot." "Er, don't you mean the trunk?"
Does anyone know the etymological history or the reason behind the different names that British and American speakers use to refer to the automobile's largest storage receptacle, or more plainly, the
