The story goes while they were arguing with officials about the wooden (suitcase sized) box not fitting a mechanic lifted the boot lid and slammed it down. That was how the first one was formed and the FIA cars had them hammered in after that. Then there's the 427 FIA bump. I don't believe they were ever homologated but had the bump. I can't see them getting the FIA suitcase and a spare in that trunk, well maybe a smart car space saver spare.
