i'd like to see a collection of barndoor roofrack pics

i like this one. neat, low, & streamlined. still with the bus?
great pic, TH
(is that a wind deflector at the front of the s/r?)

love this pic

whats the coolest roofrack for a BD?
guess this is up there

pretty cool, imo

ice-cool ladder. brave enough to put one on your BD, & park it in the street overnight?

maybe Skim is?

the pipe carrier

another low-slung version

Didn't you have another curved one with cutouts for the wood slats to pass through? Or is that the one on the Jurassic?

I bought this to check out the headlights, but the rack is nice too!

Here's one from a 1955 Gute Fahrt article. This is the same style rack that came on my '54. Notice the Behr scoop and sunroof.
