The shirt I purchased from this site shows a CS with a roof rack with a surf board on top. Did Ford ever offer a roof rack for the 68 CS?

Woulda been a stock option for any '68 coupe, not just the GT/CS.

Never seen a Ford listing for that option... not that I'd think it would look very good... roof racks and tow bars just don't belong on a Mustang IMHO... :undecided Even the trunk mouted luggage rack is a bit dickey...

A few lists, not sure how comprehensive/correct they are.

Probably a Rotunda part, available through the Ford parts dept. back in the day.

Just was wondering if the drawing on the shirt was accurate. Then again a vintage roof rack with a long bird on it would definitely be an attention grabber at shows. Since another local guy has gotten a 68 CS in presidential blue I need to come up with a way to one up him next year.
