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.

To kick off sales of the new 208 GTi, Peugeot has revealed a Limited Edition version – catchily branded the 208 GTi Limited Edition – which will be available to buyers ahead of the first regular GTis.
