I knew someone would ask that question....there was a luggage rack that got mounted on the back and the seller advised that it did not go with the car when I bought it. Its on my list of things to get for the car.....

Interesting. All of the luggage racks I've seen for our cars mount with the struts going through the rain hat at the four corners of the grill. You'll have to find out which luggage rack he had because none of the others I've seen will fit in those holes.
Aren't sellers funny? What percent of the purchase price could that rack have been?
Luggage rack was maybe for a later twin grill car? Photo is a Leitz rack with single and twin grill mounting holes.
Yes, just looked back at my notes and it was a Leitz rack.....

Probably about 1%.....

Glad you know which one it was because without that info finding one would have been tougher. But then Greg chimes in with a photo and an answer. 
You gotta luv this site!!!
How did you get the badges on? Did you remove the grill first?
I’ve done it before, but after it came off last time I can’t figure out how I did it without taking off the grill first. And none of my wrenches seem to fit those little grill bolts.
Yes, the grill comes out after removing two screws, one on the top and one on the bottom. Putting the badges on was easy just needed to get long enough screws M4's...
