Three Luggage Rack Options!

During the period, 1956 through the end of the 356 era in 1965, Porsche offered luggage racks for mounting on the rear deck lid, from two different suppliers, Reutter initially and then Lietz. The Reutter racks appeared in the early 356-A factory accessory booklets, and it was noted that they came in three styles: (1) silver painted, (2) same color-of-the-car painted, and (3) chrome plated. The silver painted version was probably the most popular as chrome plated Reutter racks are few and far between. Lietz racks came chrome plated only. The below factory source indicates that the Lietz racks were first introduced around April of 1960. Some believe that Reutter did not make chrome plated luggage racks. However the below reference seems to indicate otherwise. It is not clear how long after the introduction of the Lietz luggage racks that the Reutter racks were discontinued. Even the 356-C factory accessory booklets continued to show pictures of the Reutter racks.
