[Boatanchors] RCA CR-88

[W2HX]

Oh sugar! I didn't see that until you said something! That is actually a retractable vinyl cover in the back of my prius that pulls over whatever you have in the rear to hide them from prying eyes.  But it just happened to be sticking up in that picture!  It's a little clearer in this one http://www.w2hx.com/x/RCA-CR-88/IMG_0558.JPG

Gene,

That rack has a very Art Deco or Streamline look. Is the curved part on the back a sort of penthouse or what? I've never seen the likes.
