Welcome to your weekly opportunity to geek out on arcane automobilia, in which Encyclopedia Hoonatica seeks your help in listing a list, compiling a compilation, compending a compendium of cars that have a specific and usually fairly meaningless trait in common. Today (thanks to an awesome suggestion by regular Hooniverse reader Krautwursten), the common trait we want to definitively list is original equipment, trunk-mounted luggage racks. Now, we’re not talking about roof racks (which are so common on SUVs and station wagons as to be tedious and uninteresting to list). We are also not interested in accessory racks. We want to know about vehicles that were available new with a luggage rack mounted on the trunk lid (or “boot” if you’re an unyankee’d Hainingite.) This DOES include racks that were offered as a factory-authorized accessory, since these were commonly a dealer-installed option.
