1935 Buick 46C luggage rack brackets

[35 Drop]

Looking for a 1935 Buick luggage rack brackets and/or moldings for sale. I have the rack but no brackets.

They are not magic.   They are simple steel fabrications.   Find someone who will let you copy the originals.   Duplicate them accurately and you are home free.    Our very nice "but getting older"  Buicks will continue having some parts 'not available'  making duplicating them the only source of some parts.      I found that some Ford wire wheels are almost identical to some I wanted.    My 1935-50 series  Buick wire wheels - were options.    VERY HARD OR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND.    But they were identical to Ford with one change.   Buicks have 16" wheels but Fords have 17" wheels.   That small difference in rim diameters is very hard to see.    Side by side makes them look identical.   Thus,  I have 1935-50 series optional wire wheels on my 50 series Buick.     Yup,  I guess that's cheating but you can not see it .    My Buicks are all road drivable - not hanger queens.

Can you clarify......... you have the rack but no brackets. 

Does that mean you have the arms that it pivots on?  

Meaning you just need a bracket to mount it to the frame?

I have lots of trunk rack pictures but no close up of individual parts

Often the pivoting arms/brackets are cast and mount directly to the bumper. 

The blue car pictured is a '34 something and they mount directly to the bumper. 

The green and black car is a 33 Buick

Hello - I was able to purchase the rack arms that hold it to the bumper brackets.
