From the 68 Chrysler brochure.
My 1966 T&C has a full length luggage or roof rack. 1/2 length was available too.
I don't know if it was available on anything other than wagons though, but it would make sense that the shorty was useable on a 4 or 2 door. T'would look fugly though...

Ross if you ever want to get rid of your wagon, I know a good home for it. 
. Love your wagon.

Thanks!! I'll definitely keep that in mind!!
Lol... duly noted.
Likely there was a trunk.mount luggage rack but I can't say I remember seeing one.

How about trunk mounted luggage racks? Not that you need extra room in a C body, but still.... Oh and put me 2nd in line for your wagon
That seems like a British sports car thing with no trunk space. Can't see that looking very appealing. I have never thought I needed more room than my trunk

The optional Authorized Mopar Dealer Installed Accessories luggage rack looked like this:
The one on the Newport looks aftermarket.

I checked out Hamtramck-Historical and the 1968 Chrysler Parts Accessories Catalog is the only mention of trunk luggage racks for slab sides. They don't have the 65 catalog up on their site but 66 and 67 were wagon only.

I would be happy to be 3rd in line!
I remember looking at a 71 Barracuda Gran Coupe in the early 90s that had a luggage rack on it (factory) and always thought they were kind neat/odd factory options. Some of them were nicely styled and others were cheap. Kind of like continental kits.
I have that exact under dash AC unit (Chrysler airtemp) shown on that accessories booklet above if anyones interested.

70 is the 1st year i recall seeing factory Mopar trunk racks. "E" bodies offered that option and in 71 the option was added to "B" bodies. We had the rack on our 71 Satellite. Didn't work well with my ski rack.
Those dealer installed racks look like J.C.Whitney fare.

This looks exactly like the rack that was on my 70 Challenger RT/SE.Posted by Stan in 2013.

Yes - for cars not originally equipped with AC, dealer installed AC was available.

A buddy had a dealer ac unit put in his brand new 70 Challenger. It was a sixpack pistol grip car and i believe factory air was not available with his options combo.
Cool.
My unit is for sale.
