Hi
I'm looking for a roof rack to suit a '56 beetle.
I'd prefer it to be ratty- not in as new condition.

can anyone give me a lead on some old peice that may be laying in someones backyard?

Thanks

Price?

I also have a '54. was there a roofrack that came out for specific models?
I only want to put year correct bits on them.

Sorry, i'm no expert on bug roof racks, never had them on a vehicle.

Can email pics to mightyjeeps@yahoo.com.au

Cheers

yep theres a version that sits in the gutter channel but these were from Overseas we mainly had the suction cap style in Aussie.

you can purchase this style from Vintage at Campsie 02-9789-1777 there all Stainless and really nice with wodden slats

Lots of different cars had the suction cap style
