Mark Gregush Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) Try posting in the Model A or Ford wanted section down below. There are a number of Facebook pages for the Ford Model A. You may have to build your own considering how few may have been built in the first place. Would imagine most surf boards were just strapped down with ropes to the top without racks or just stuck in the bac in the 60's. Who had money for extras like adding a rack. Unless someone added them, pretty sure the Model A didn't have gutters to mount to like later station wagons. Anyone can read these posts so it is a good idea not to post your personal contact information.

46 woodie Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 The roof rack's for Model A Station Wagons that I have seen, are all custom made, since the roof of the Model a Wagon is flat, it is a pretty easy job to fabricate one. Many of the rack's that I have seen utilize some the top bolt holes with a longer bolt and a spacer to clear the top welting. If you can get a copy of the October 2021 issue of the Woodie Times, there is an article on page 22 about the fabrication of a roof rack on a 1937 Dodge Wagon. The article utilizes the rain gutters on this car but the 1929 Station wagon does not have rain gutters, hence using the longer top bolts as an anchor. What ever you decide, do not drill any holes in the wood, you will regret it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billorn Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Can we please stop putting surfboards on woodys and other wagons? It's the most cliche cliche of all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

46 woodie Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 If you scrool down to the "Other Vehicle Categories" and log onto the National Woodie Club site, there is an antique roof rack for sale that you might be able to adapt to your vehicle. I tend to agree with billorn about surfboards on Station Wagons. They might look cool on '40s and early '50 "Woodies" but on Model A's, no. I will never put a surfboard on my '46.

Paul Dobbin Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 As an old surfer, I never carried a surf board on the 57 Ford Conv., I had at the time. It was more convenient to rent one when needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
