Yes - you can fit your Johnny Walker in the frunk - maybe even a case of it.

Yeah, we saw that in this thread posted earlier - kind of pissed that Caitlyn Jenner got to sit in the C8 just because she’s a celebrity. But she’s still pretty flexible for being 70 ... and really gives a new meaning to the phrase “Junk in the Frunk!”

Check the other thread here.

Default I Think it Will...

If it has extendable legs. If you can shorten the legs of your walker all the way, it should have no problem fitting in the frunk or trunk.

I actually have a walker and I'm 5' 11" and adjusted for my height, shoving the extendable legs inward would only gain me 2.5"

In the open position, my walker is 25.5" wide and 17.5" front to back, and is 34.75" tall. In the folded position it is 25.5" wide by 4.25" front back and 36" tall. It would need a box 26" x 4.5" X 36 inches to fit into.

What are the interior dimensions of the C8's truck and frunk?

I don't think that they've released the actual dimensions of the frunk and trunk, but I think they said both are 6.3 cu ft in volume. Looking at the frunk, I don't think that your walker will fit.

For C8 owners who want or need to take a walker on the go, something like the one below may be the best option. It will definitely fit in the rear trunk.

It also appears one can store quite a supply of DEPENDS in either trunk/frunk area as well.

I don't think I would like that walker as it appears to have you walk with your body tilted forward because of the cross bar at the rear of the walker. My walker allows me to stand within the three sides of the walker, allowing me to walk upright and gives me plenty of support to the sides if I were to start falling to the side..

Plenty of room in my C6 Z06 coupe for my walker, and tons of other **** for a nice two week long vacation road trip. Easy to pack my car and get to items without having to remove crap that is packed on top, as the cargo area is long and wide, meaning just about everything fits one item deep. If I want to get something out of my cooler, I just open it up as nothing is packed on top of it. Same with getting the Windex bottle and an old towel out to clean the windshield or the bugs of the nose of the car, from my bucket of car cleaning supplies that I take along on my trips. With a deep cargo space, as with the C8, it would have to be placed on the bottom, and then stuff that you don't want to get crushed placed on top(but then has to be removed to access the cooler for a drink etc).

Another thing, which I feel is important, is that with my C6 anything in the rear cargo space I somewhat being temperature controlled as that area of the car gets air conditioning in the summer and heat during the cooler months. With the C8, neither the frunk or the trunk is climate controlled.

The possibilities are endless. Anyone who's doing a C8 "show car" build needs to turn the frunk into a cooler with a drain plug at the bottom. THAT would win some trophies

Around 1960, my best buddy had a 1959 Corvette. We would remove the spare tire from the molded in tub in the trunk and fill it with ice and beer. Then put the wood cover back on and then the floor mat and then place the spare tire on top of that. At the center of the molded in tub was a opening where the single long bolt went through a nut and it would allow for the water to drain out as the ice melted.

We were underage and if we were stopped by the cops, we didn't want them to find a cooler full of beer in the trunk.

Not a new idea as we did it some 60 years ago.

The term started with supercars but seems to have really taken off with Tesla's growth
