Model T Or A Era, Accordion/scissors Style Running Board Luggage Rack on 2040-parts.com

Condition:Used

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.

The Lego Land Rover Defender A Lego building genius called Sheepo has built a perfect scale version of a Land Rover Defender 110 out of Lego. And it works. The odd ‘Castle’ or maybe an intricate wall was probably as far as any of us ever got with Lego, but a Lego building master calling himself Sheepo has put together an awe-ispiring scale model of a Land Rover Defender 110 built entirely out of the little plastic bricks (and some Lego extras).

Alfa Romeo MiTo Live launches

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Alfa Romeo has launched a limited edition MiTo – the MiTo Live – with a Pioneer App radio and Marmalade ‘Black Box’ Insurance aimed at new drivers. So on the engine front the MiTo Live gets Alfa’s 875cc two-cylinder turbo – a crackingly good little engine – which delivers up a modest, but fun, 85bhp with emissions of 98g/km and the promise of 67.3mpg if you drive like a saint. And if you do drive like a saint, there’s a cost saving beyond great fuel economy.
