I've tried to search for this but cannot find it. Somebody posted a pic of an old bug with a huge roof rack, it would hang straight over the top and mount to the rear bumper. must have been about 8' long. Does anybody remember or know where that pic is?

Someone had one of those racks that extend out over the decklid (supported down at the bumper) recently at an Austin Aircoolers monthly meet. Unfortunately, it was the one time I forgot to bring my camera to the meet. DOH!

Not to bring this off topic, but do you remember a guy named Levi with a patina light blue '70 Beetle coming to your meets?
