The original '32 luggage rack is correct for what other years, if any?
Thanks.

1931 and with different length brackets it is correct for 1930 as well.

Thank you very much Chipper.
For a '30 would the arms need to longer or shorter?
Thanks again...

Any help??
If a '31-'32 rack is different than a '30 rack, how different is it and how hard would it be to modify it to fit?
Thanks...

The mounting arms are different length for the 1930 rack compared to the '31-32 luggage racks.

Thanks Chipper, would he have to lengthen them or shorten them? Do you know how much?
Anyone got a '30 rack that they can measure the arms?
Lots of questions come to mind...if I remember right the long arms are made of 2 pieces of flat stock and 1 piece of flat stock; would he have to cut/add to the 2 or the 1?
Thanks again for any help.

I made mine 7 1/2" c/c on the bottom arm to have the rack be perfectly level when a trunk is mounted on it. It's tricky getting it right because there are 2 bends and it's riveted at both ends. Done right it turns out nice. The upper is the same 30-32 because it rests at a specific spot when in the upright position. Nineteen thirty has a flat gas tank apron, 31 and 32 aprons are recessed, hence the different length arms.
I've driven my car almost 30,000 miles
