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. |
