Re: Types of trunks for model a’s
New information December 26:
There is a nice article on installing the Kari-Keen trunk, and some history, in the Model A News magazine, January-February 2016, Volume 63, Number 1, page 22. The article goes through detailed installation procedure with lots of pictures. It describes the various parts needed to mount the trunk.
According to the article, the trunk is covered under patents 1,713,159 of May 14, 1929 and 1,753,077 of April 1, 1930 which would be good reference sources.
The article says that the trunk can carry 400 pounds and has 7.5 square feet of area when opened. It was written by Steve Plucker, of Walla Walla, Washington.
