Re: Model A Luggage Trunks?
I came across the information while doing some research while building mine. I wanted to try and make it as authentic as possible. I do remember that there is a picture of one on the MAFFI site and it is listed as a Taylor but can't remember where the rest of the information came from. Do you have any close up pics of the emblems you have mounted to your radiator? I am very curious!

I have been able to find out that the OML badges were issued 1931 and earlier and that the CAA version came out by 1933, perhaps 1932. To the best of my knowledge, the Canada's National Parks badges were issued 1925 -1940 and are getting increasingly difficult to find. I've seen them as high as $750 on EBAY auctions.

Re: Model A Luggage Trunks?
I would sure like to obtain the trim pieces for the Kari Keen trunk. I have the trunk that I could restore, if I had quality trim pieces. The existing trim pieces for the corners are in very bad shape, and do I not know of anyone that might be able to repair or replicate new ones. Tire bracket I have.

Re: Model A Luggage Trunks?
Nice trunk artdeco.
Is there any indication as to the manufacturer of the trunk or locks? One lock appears to have a swing cover?

I just picked up a 37" C A Taylor luggage trunk. Not sure if 37" was made for any Model A luggage rack, but it fits nicely in the 1928 Pickup bed. Now the search for keys, begins.

I picked it up in Illinois on the way to the MARC meet in Wisconsin. Does anyone know if there was a Model A Luggage rack to fit a 37" trunk? |

Re: Model A Luggage Trunks?
Wow, that is a fabulous trunk. The badge looks mint. Great score!. The Folding black rack has different dimensions to the chrome one. I don't have mine handy otherwise I would measure it.

Re: Model A Luggage Trunks?
The official trunk, that Ford dealers sold, is pictured in the Judging Standards.

Re: Model A Luggage Trunks?
At some point we all seem to run out of things to restore on our cars. All the gem crack bits of accessories are installed and there is nothing to do except maintain and drive the cars. How totally boring to not have a going project.
I have a beautiful aftermarket trunk for my '29 Fordor but is wasn't satisfying. I believe I wanted more of a statement from my rear end perhaps that is what I was thinking when I drank too much coffee and decided to make my own trunk to my own design. I like it and that is all that counts even if it isn't original Ford equipment. Quite often it gets more comments from the public than the car. The extra trunk mounted brake lights and reflectors are for extra safety and the trunks un-plugs when it is removed. Sometimes it is hard to know when to stop fiddling with our stuff. |

Re: Model A Luggage Trunks?
Found this one on Craigslist. It was painted with aluminum paint when I got it. Bead blasted all of the paint off and re-finished it. Not sure I like it, but it is different.
