Luggage Rack

(1/7) > >>

Hi

I have been looking around for a while and am now close to buying my Corvette. Its down to 2 coupes a 69 Cortez silver and a 71 Bridgehampton Blue.

The 71 has a luggage rack that I never been keen about but strangely on the darker blue it does not look that bad.  In fact the blue seems to bring out the bumpers and all chrome  etc very well.

My question is if I remove it would plugs color matched to the car work....any views ?

The paint is great so I dont really want to patch and respray.

regards

Craig

Unless I were stripping it back for a respray, I'd leave the luggage rack on it.

There's not a lot of room behind the seats and the rack gives you that extra option for small luggage (such as the T-tops).

I agree, if you're not prepared to respray the rear deck. Leave the rack on.

and if you respray the rear deck, the rest will need doing as well... somehting about fresh paint that makes even excellant paint look second rate

Thanks for your comments.

While i would be happy to respray the deck it concerns me that it would  not be possible to blend it in well enough. The current paint looks in excellent condition though.
