  • Paul, F.Y.I. that rack was specifically fitted to the 1929 Hudson.
  • I have never seen a '32 or '33 in the flesh, so you have me there Doc, but I think they had folding racks, hinged in the centre. Someone with more knowledge than me on these modes will have to fill us in on that.

  • HERE IS ANOTHER TRUNK RACK I HAVE IT'S GOING TO FIND A NEW HOME ALSO IT'S NOT AS HEAVY AS THE OTHER TRUNK RACK
  • What is length and width of triangle one?
    Thanks
  • I'M NOT SURE I WILL MEASURE IN THE MORNING AND POST IN THE MORNING
  • The one pictured above on the 33T rod is not the correct one for a 33T. The 33T rack has a place in the top center area for a emblem like the one on the griffen.

  • THANKS TOM I KNOW YOU WILL KNOW FOR SURE LOL
  • I don't have any pic's of the 33H trunk rack. Try contacting Alan Lewis in Manasas,Va., he has the 33H pictured above and his father has a 32H8Cp.

  • Someone asked about the correct trunk rack for a '33 Hudson (not Terraplane). Here's a frame from an old movie, showing a '33 Hudson about to drive into a building. Not a great shot but you can get some idea of the rack...
