Most of them ALSO had a glow in the dark internal release handle so if you locked your elf/hamster/rabbit in the frunk it could escape!

vw type 3.
had two trunks.
USA type people had to invent a new word for the front one.
because there was still a trunk in the usual place.

corvairs, beetles, 356s, 911s etc same deal only one trunk.
they just called it a trunk even if it was in the front.

think the 914 is kinda unique like the type3 having two trunks.


we call em a boot in australia if they are in the usual place.
which makes em a froot here? we decided not to call it that for obvious reasons.

Frunk is a stupid word that came about 5 years ago
I don’t like it. Stupid


Hours later….
Hard day at work
I’ll leave the comment though

i can remember it being called a frunk when i lived in chicago and bought my 914 back in 89. i think the mechanic who worked on my car called it that. i think the word was around in some circles.

it was all strange to me being an aussie. when some one said trunk i thought of a tree or an elephant.

I heard it in the 80's when I bought my first 914.

So should we call it a froot?

you would only do that to inhabitants of a hostile nation.
