"The Folding black rack has different dimensions to the chrome one. I don't have mine handy otherwise I would measure it. "
The measurements are 33 x 16 1/2, still too small.

My rack from the Dlx Roadster measures 34.5" x 14.5" ID. The Taylor trunk is a slant back for the sedans. |

Re: Model A Luggage Trunks?
For those who like the metal trunks but can't find one in good condition, a few pounds of Bondo, vinyl leatherette and some pliable leather for corners makes a nicely finished trunk.

Re: Model A Luggage Trunks?
In earlier times, TRUNKS were IMPORTANT for storage, in the homes, in the barns & ON the cars, for traveling.
Wish I knew the history of my REALLY Old, Large trunk! Lock looks as if it was SHOT out by a .45, from the INSIDE of the trunk?????---I've seen similar trunks, in Old Movies and films of people arriving through Ellis Island. It's covered inside, by "wallpaper"??? Bill Puzzled

Re: Model A Luggage Trunks?
I mildly surprised that I haven't seen any reference to the trunks that have the hinge along the bottom right at the back. They only open a certain amount before they lock with the top open so you can load heaps more stuff in them. If I'd seen one of those before I made mine, I'd have done one like that.
