Ford did not install much in the way of accessories, these were a dealer option. There were some "Ford" authorized accessories but the dealers could sell pretty much anything. There was quite a network of JC Whitney, Western Auto, and such stores selling all kinds of things for the motoring public to buy. I think Ford only install luggage racks on the DeLuxe Roadster when it came out in 1930. If you need dealer information there was a magazine that was not affiliated with Ford but aimed at the Ford dealers. It is called Ford Dealer and Service Field. It was published all through the Model T era, Model A era and up into the V-8s. Lots of information on accessories there.
