The period advertisment shows a very different rack. No ?

The period advertisment shows a very different rack. No ?

Hard to tell in the ad pic below if it could be the back half of the Karo rack holding the board - but very possibly a different single board rack.

And Wes said that he has a long board - which also couldn't work sideways like this guy's short board .... or at least not without taking out cars, trees, pedestrians on either side! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Also note that it's a 1970-72 era 914-6 with the fixed passenger seat & Mahle gas=burner 5-lug allow wheels - & so not a good idea to be wading a real -6 in salt water! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

The reason for my posting it for Wes is that that ad was one of the set of Porsche+Audi USA's "The _____ Porsche" ad series for the 914s back in the day.

This is the "The Schuss Porsche" ad from that USA 914 magazine series, but still not that Karo rack - more similar to the USA sold Piper racks:


.


I'm pretty sure that these are the Karo racks in these German/Euro Porsche Ads, but this wasn't part of that "The _______ Porsche" US/Canada 914 Ad campaign from the 1970s that I noted above.

I'm not sure what these racks are though in this Porsche German/Euro promo pic? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I was saying above for Wes & others - that for those interested in making a 914 display, framed photos, or something -- you can find folks selling classic car magazine ads on evil-bay to make up a poster board, framed display(s), one-off ad, etc. - prices range $5-15+ each.

I plan to do something like that in the future myself.

Some of the others that I recall are: "The Rain Porsche" (Zambezi Green), "The Mountain Porsche" (Bahia Red), "The Sun Porsche" & "The Sun Porsche" (both Yellows), "The Space Porsche" (Marathon Blue). there are probably some others that I'm forgetting too.

IIRC Jeff Bowlsby's Classic 914 website has them in his 914 Ads subsection.

I believe they would be aftermarket racks Porsche didn’t make them, Although the photographer might have. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
