Good morning from France.
One of my good friends used to make long tourist trips with his wife in the Ford GT.
Fine connoisseur of cars, he took great pleasure in driving his 05 GT.
Unfortunately, this pleasure was not shared because the luggages had insufficient volume for the couple, and were made of a multitude of small bags unsightly and impractical.
Alas, the couple requirements were victorious, and the Ford GT was replaced by a car with a luggage compartment. Very sad story!
Indeed, the lack of luggage is a big flaw in a car for road use. And what about the new GT that I want to buy !!!
For now, I tried to find a solution for my wonderful 2006 that I will keep anyway.
Here is the results :
Although I measure 1.83m and I weigh 80 kg, I have a perfect driving position, leaving a space of 15cm behind my seat. It is the same for my wife on the passenger seat.
After extensive research, I founded on the Internet, a 90€ each baggage that occupies completely this free space behind the seat, from the floor and the sides, to the roof. This is a wheeled suitcase, with rigid bottom, with a shell in very well finished canvas, with multiple pockets, and straps to keep the clothing in situation.
After some modifications and improvements «*home made*», the result corresponds with what I wanted, both on functional and aesthetics aspects.
The working volume of each case is : 80cm x 42cm x 15cm.
I also used the space between the two seats, between the speaker and the climate controls.
I used a canvas bag, originally designated for Golf shoe. It includes a large central volume plus two side pockets, one being exactly in the format of an iphone. On the car, I carefully took off the glued leather trim, and I replaced it with two strips of "Velcro".
This set makes me a soft and quite comfortable elbow support. With a flexible handle at the back, I can take it with me when I leave the car, and put it back in a second.
Its useful volume is : 15cm x 20cm x 35cm.
Details are available to those who would do more or less the same.
Best regards to the Ford GT Community.
