there should be a small hole in the base to put a hook pin in and push the release button

yes it was under a repaint ,about 40 years ago i carefully removed a layer of paint to see the pin stripping .the car is a 32 57S maglauglin buick made in regina canada .i will take a few pics of the stripping on the that i did on the car ,i did want to duplicate it exactly but just was unsucsesful so i did a single wider single instead of a double that way i could tape and air brush a stripe at a time ,pics to follow ,thanks Bob for all you do for the 32 buick community .........

these are pics of old pics mine had a double stripe at the top and bottom of the top door crown ,when they turn to go up the pillar two turns into one witch makes two above the doors.the guys that did this were very skilled i think that was all they did .

Every time I did I just put two slings one front one back ,6 ft I think.

I sure would like the winding and setting parts,just has not been a priority .

Sorry for time it to for me to get back. I had holes in the trunk bottom that lined up with the rack spacing ,found a rubber mount at princess auto (Canada).

if the packing has not been turned give it a turn, or replace the packing,do not be anal they do always leak a bit'

If the paint chips it is to thick,just assemble and touch up.

yes the original paint would be lacquer,so good paint thinner will soften it up all other paints will wrinkle.i would carefully remove layers of paint to find the stock color ,and match that, colors in those years are simple for a paint store to match.see if you can find a spot 3x3 inch and polish it up ,between the fender and the body maybe.

Thanks i was looking for shoe polish in the house last night,found some .Yes very happy with the trunk look, thought the back looked bare without it,nice when it just falls in your lap thanks.

Well it stopped raining,so here is a pic,i like it.

Thanks for your kind words,love you pics will post one with the trunk on, if it ever stops raining .ya nothing like going down a bucket list,did the fast sports car sold that,keeping the harley for a while .dont go in the ground with unfinished dreams.thanks,ya i like the trunk look on the car ,it will stay,it did come with a trunk rack.
