Luggage Rack Design
 

I need a luggage rack that slides under the rear of my Model A when the rack is not in use. Does anyone out there have such a rack? If so, please post some photos of it and share some words of how you made it?

Bob, here are a couple of pics I took on "Drive Your A Day". Sorry that I didn't get a better photo of the rack extended. Bill has this on VERMIN, he said that it was a ZIP-A-RAK or some such name. None of us had seen one before and I haven't found any info on the web but it looks to be the solution that you are looking for. Russ

Google, "ZIP-A-RAK"--You may find a re-pro, out there. John Lavoy knows a lot about them. I talked to Berts' in Denver & he was "thinking" about reproducing them. I got mine from Brentwood Bob. It'll haul a Model A short block, even!
In the L/H pic, you can see it pulled out. It even has a CHROME bar across the back. Brentwood Bob had it re-chromed, before he sent it! (THANK YOU BOB!)
