Tissue box on the parcel shelf? Mercedes usually
Discussion
They will most probably be PH chauffeur cars, a courtesy thing for customers. Some will also carry bottles of water and newspapers, and hopefully the occasional customer.
PH = Private Hire not Pistonheads by the way, just to avoid any confusion. We don't want the deluge of posters saying diesel Mercs are not very PH

Are these boxes attached?? if they touched the brakes or cornered it would be flying about all over the place??
Many of times in my teenage years I was hit in the back of the head by the box of tissues. There were there for back seat naughtiness. Sadly no need for them nowadays
I had one in my s-class track car, in a really tacky cover like this:
Ooo, this one is a bargain!

Not the first car that springs to mind when thinking track car...
Also on rear parcel shelves - hi-vis jackets. I often wondered if they are average joes that have a hi-vis waterproof in case they had to change the wheel in the dark/rain, but choose to leave it visible so that cars behind think "ooh, maybe they are a copper - i wont tailgate/cut them up".
Has anyone ever seen an actual parcel on the parcel shelf?
I have one I need to take to the post office later, instead of popping it on the seat next to me in the front, or perhaps throwing it in the boot, I'll squash it over the rear headrests onto the parcel shelf, obscuring my rear view vision in the process. That'll do nicely.

I have a box of tissues and Indiana Jones type hat on my parcel shelf, and a National Trust sticker in the offside rear window. I also have a selection of chewing gum and Fisherman's Friends in the various front cubbie holes.
I am neither an OAP,an Indian, nor someone that interferes with dwarfs and other small people.

Got one of these at our work. Not quite in his 60s but er has upper class aspirations to put it lightly
Upset him when for years Id realised id misinterpreted his private plate and mentioned it to him.
Apparently (not exact for diplomatic reasons, got to work with him) i hadn't realised "you loser" was actually "hello Sir "

Don't forget the Panama hats on the rear shelf, tell tale sign of a horrendous driver!
They are normally posh men in their sixties.
