For those interested, there is a Canadian '30-'32 trunk rack currently listed on eBay. It is not complete but the majority is there.

I have copied the photos for future reference.

Looks like it came off of a roadster,the bracket that bolts to the gas tank apron is smaller than on a sedan. It also has the correct Canadian trim.

Hey Chip! Very few people know what a Canadian rack looks like. Dad had one on the roadster for years until we were able to find the correct one.

Which what you have there, I would think you should be able to restore it easy. Would be fun some time to document all the differences between a US and Canadian car.

I started to list the differences between USA and Canadian passenger production a couple of times. There are so many that I never finished.

I have a Canadian car from Oshawa, Ontario. Chipper is correct, the list might never be completed.

Any components fabricated by McKinnon Industries in St. Catherines, Ontario have slight and not so slight variations to the US components.
