Model T Or A Era, Accordion/scissors Style Running Board Luggage Rack on 2040-parts.com
Glen Ellyn, Illinois, United States
This is a nice original, unadulterated, luggage rack from
the teens, 20’s or 30’s. The original
black paint is scratched and scuffed with plenty of patina (surface rust).Nothing
has been oiled, but all the moving parts move freely. I don’t find any markings that would identify
any particular brand or model. These are
often associated with the Model T (think Grapes of Wrath and Oakies attaching
all their belongings to the sides of their old jalopies). I believe these were
primarily after-market accessories that were intended to be applied to a wide
range of vehicles. I expect this will
fit just about any car from the running board era. To be sure, check the detailed dimensions to ensure
that this will work with your vehicle. Fully expanded, the rack is 51” long. It collapses to under 6”. When mounted, the end pieces extend 15” above
the surface of the running board.
Running board needs to be at least 6” wide, and must be less than 1 5/8”
thick. |

Suzuki Celerio revealed in India – Euro-spec Celerio heading for Geneva
Fri, 07 Feb 2014The new Suzuki Celerio (pictured_ revealed in India The Suzuki Celerio has been launched at the Auto expo in New Delhi this week as a new A-Segment offering from Suzuki, but the Celerio isn’t just for emerging markets and will arrive in Eur-spec at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show next month. The Celerio offers more space than bothy the Alto and Splash – Suzuki’s current offerings in the A-Segment – and is expected to cost much the same as the Alto when it arrives in the UK in early 2015. Which means the new Celerio is probably the replacement for both the Splash and Alto, and Suzuki are trumpeting it a ‘pocket-friendly’ car.
Concept Car of the Week: AMC Amitron (1967)
Fri, 13 Dec 2013While the American auto industry spent most of the late ‘60s creating huge barges powered by monstrous engines with loud decals on disco paint jobs, AMC believed in the future of compact cars, fuel economy, and go-faster stripes. Designed under Richard Teague's supervision, the quirky Amitron was unveiled in 1967 in a hotel in Detroit. Measuring less than 2,200mm long, it is 350mm shorter than a Smart Fortwo and its wide track gave room for three passengers seating abreast.
