Looking for a stainless luggage rack for my 1930 Tudor, all the posts I found are old and any links are expired or the company no longer exists. I want stainless as I'm on the Coast in Florida and every rust, especially chep knock offs. Any help would be appreciated.

I understand your pain. I live on the coast of SoCal.

The vendors used to sell S/S luggage racks along side the chrome one years ago. I surmise 'us' cheapie Model A pilots opted for the cheaper chrome one and the S/S one didn't sell so was discontinued.

Unfortunate, the polished S/S really looks nice and easier on the upkeep.

Fabricate it.

I hope you find one. I purchased mine 12-31-19 from Snyders at $385.00. His part number was A-18575-BSS. It is a beautiful piece. Years ago I had a chrome plated one and it soon had rust spots. I don't understand why vendors forget to do a triple plated (copper, nickle then chrome) job. If you are going to spend that kind of money, why get one that will rust in a few years? Be sure it is triple plated. Alternatively, purchase the rack unplated and have it done properly. Ed

I bought a chrome one from CW Moss. I looked for a SS and bought the chrome b/c it was the only one I could find.

We used to have them custom made for us. Unfortunately the last time we went to reorder them the price almost doubled. I didn't feel anyone would buy them at the new pricing so we decided to discontinue them.
