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.

Volkswagen Beetle Dune Concept (pictured) heading for Detroit The original VW Beetle was a perfect candidate for a Dune Buggy, and many old VWs were converted to blast across sand dunes around the world. VW had a bash at their own Dune Buggy back in 2000, but now, ahead of a reveal at the Detroit Auto Show next week, we have what looks like a buggy from VW that could actually be heading for production – the Volkswagen Beetle Dune Concept. VW has revealed a single image of their Beetle Dune Concept (above) that shows a jacked-up Beetle with big wheels and tyres, a ski rack on the back and a bit of cosmetic titivation.
