Leitz luggage rack decal position
Hi Guys,
Can you advise me, or send a picture of the correct location of the Leitz decal for the luggage rack, mounted on a 65C Coupe.
Thanks, Stan

Re: Leitz luggage rack decal position
Stan,
It affixes to the bottom bar, as seen in these pictures, one from Charlie's website. There is not a clear shot of the sticker and you'll have to zoom, but I hope this helps. On the bottom picture it is a bit hard to see, it looks like the standoff sits on top of the sticker but that is an optical illusion as it is forward of the bottom bar.

Re: Leitz luggage rack decal position
Here is an original rack. Decal just to the right of the weld.

Re: Leitz luggage rack decal position
I was the US importer for those racks back in the day. The label was over the weld on all the racks I received. I always assumed that was placed there to hide the weld.

Brad
That rack in the picture I posted came from Canada, about 25 years ago. Appears to be all original, but who knows for sure.

Re: Leitz luggage rack decal position
Here's another picture of the rack from Der White's web site showing a picture from the 1962/63 accessory booklet. The decal is clearly not on the lower bar near the weld. I'm so confused....

Re: Leitz luggage rack decal position
I believe Brad is correct, as usual. I had a luggage rack on a 356SC cabriolet I bought new in 1964 and it had the decal covering the weld. Never saw otherwise.

Pete is a highly accomplished pilot! He landed jets on a moving carrier.....in the dark of night.....at sea....with only a short strip of landing lights....depending on a hook to stop him.

Now we know why there is no luggage rack on Pete's immaculate Champagne yellow Carrera 2 coupe...

Re: Leitz luggage rack decal position
And, why let anybody see the unsightly weld when it can be covered up by the label?
