Do you still need dimensions?
I am restoring a 1935 Ruby.

Hi Geoff?
Yes that would be great I think I can work out a lot of them but it's the main ones like steel size and the hight X width.
I don't think I am far from you I'm in Essex
PS I have some good Photos of the Rack.
Regards Brian |

Hello Brian,
Here goes with dimensions:-
Width - 26"
Depth - 13"
The 'openings' are 5.1/2" wide by 5" deep
The frame is 1" x7/16" channel section
There is a 3/4"x3/4" channel section under the centre bar, spot welded on.
Note the taper on the top 2.1/2" reducing o/a width to 25.1/2"
Hope this makes sense.
I've done a New Member post, with link to my photos.

Brian,
I so like you car, and notice that the starter handle is at 9 o'clock, where it should be. I wonder how many owners know the reason why.
Your model was never fitted with a luggage rack as standard.
The Ruby & other Jewel models had them as standard, stowed behind the spare wheel cover.
From what I've gathered, up to the Jewel models luggage racks where after market parts, so you could design your own, hence the variety on Pre-1935 cars.
