From 1955 to 1979, the Luxury Buses were equipped with an aluminium luggage rack mounted on the backrest of the rear seat, which blocked stacked luggage at a height and thus protected the occupants.
The luggage rack mentioned here is supplied complete with aluminium end caps. These aluminium tips were used by Volkswagen until 2.1961, when they were replaced by plastic tips. If your Bus is dated after 3.1961 and you want it to be identical in every detail to how it was delivered by factory at the time, then order the plastic caps separately (listed under the options tab).
