I am wondering if you could somehow work in a Model A flip up luggage rack into the equasion...They look sharp when in the up position with their wood slats...They are made to set behind your spare and may somewhat hide the lower end of the spare if raised...Don't know for sure if it would work with full bar bumper but possiably luggage rack brackets could come out above or below the bumper? I do have an extra set of bumperetts, not sure all hardware is there, they came off a Canadian M-2 but think they were originaly off a 65 or 75 as they have groves in the face, it wouldn't be until I get back to WA in April befor I could check them out.
I have seen the luggage racks on the back of Fords and they look nice. I have the oak spokes and running boards. It would suit the car. My wife came up with a 4th option that I like. She said that the bumperettes are just a shortened version of the long bumper so cut them to fit. I could easily adapt the support brackets to fit. I will look closer at that idea today.
