The back seat folded forward so it would be flat, and a panel between the interior and the trunk folded down allowing much more "space" to haul long stuff like a ladder/long lumber.
There were no special decals or anything.

Hatchback fold down rear seat. Space Dusters have no emblems or particular theme. It wasn't like owning a "Gold" or "Twister". The Hang 10 is a space Dart.

Yeah, it referred to the fold down back seat option/fold down into the trunk . . . could order it on any Duster . . . also, option of manual crank sunroof . . . My 1974 Duster360 has BOTH options !!

If they had the fold down seat, and the sun roof, Wasnt it called the "Convert-triple" option?

Sounds like a Convertouble to me. What was the 3rd?

Plymouth SpaceDuster just like the Dodge Dart Sport Convertriple was a Chyrsler nickname for the 1973 A-body cars with the M52 sunroof and C73 fold down seat & trunk dress up options.
The Spacemaker package was the name for the fold down/trunk dress up C73 option.
Here's my former very rare 1973 SpaceDuster 340-4spd car.

A simple visit to my 1973 Duster & Dart Sport site would answer that....

Here's a magazine ad from 1973 and the gal with the guitar is sitting on the open sunroof.
