>Tailgates put a huge tailgate in the way of reaching in,
I used to have a '72 GTO Station Wagon with a dual action tailgate, the
glass slid down and it opened either to the side like a door if you wanted
to get into the lower storage compartment or down like a tailgate if you
wanted to back into a drive in movie.The 400 engine never lost a tow-car
race even when pulling a Corvette on a dual axle trailer. Got 15 mpg
without rig and 12.5 mpg with. Suspect it would have been better if not
turning 3000 rpm at 70 with the special order "economy" axle. Didn't care then.

GM did know how. Once upon a time, long, long, ago.
