new trunk test fit for '29 standard sedan

[jps]

Last week I tried fitting up the new trunk I just finished.  I found an article originally written in 1929 on how to build a trunk for your model A, and it was easy to adapt it for my '29 Buick sedan.   I don't have the trunk mounting brackets finished yet, and that is why I did the test fit-up as shown in the attached pictures.  So far I think it looks pretty good, and am adding places on the new trunk brackets to allow the original spare tire & holder to mount behind the trunk.

 

I have seen a lot of similar trunks on model A's, so I guess this was a popular article in its day.

You'd never know it wasn't original to the car. Nice job.

Attached are photos of the trunk that was fabricated by the fellow that restored my '29.He didn't have to worry about mounting a spare tire behind it !

And all I have is a plain metal trunk with surface rust that came it's my car. I forget the brand, but I believe it came from Jackson, MI.  Oh well, that is not the highest priority for my car right now.
