The boot-lid on that white '80s 2cv won't be anything like the one you'd want. It'll have a rounded appearance to it, but not subtle, like on a pre-war Traction.

Just found that one too, the Suitcase Bulges Out 2CV.

Not quite the same as the earlier ones, which I've now discovered are called a "Malle Raoul", although I've not found out who Raoul was.

And there's even a 1/43 scale model.

Jee Wiz! They know what to charge at Cassis!! :o Haven't looked at it in detail, but is it metal, or fibre-glass? I'm guess the latter. Question is, will it fit a '70s/80s car?

When I was talking about the boot-lid being round, I meant something like this..

Do you want the boot extension just to look good/different or to actually be able to fit more into the boot?

Because I would be able to fit all the stuff from my boot extension in one of those

Aesthetics first and foremost!!! ;) I mostly (99%) go places by myself, so not too interested in finding more space. :D

Raoul was the name of the company, that made the boot-lid, in the same way that Robris made the aluminium spats.

if you look at the hinge at the top it looks to be a boot hinge like on a 70s/80s car

Just trawling through the web, trying to find info. on those '50s aftermarket 'Big Boots', nothing coming up, as yet :(


Search for malle bombé, malle raoul.
I found some one on leboncoin.
You could also use one frome a Traction Avant, but that doesnt fit straight away I guess. Jeroen Cats put one on one of his cars:
