I stumbled on this 70' Valiant and noticed the roof rack. I know an OEM roof rack is quite rare, but is the one on this Valiant OEM or something else? The car is for sale so I am interested in the roof rack. :lol:

Back in the day there were hundreds of rain gutter attached roof racks made in the aftermarket.
 

I bought a factory wagon roof rack from another member from AZ for my 65 Dart panel wagon conversion. Several years later I stumbled upon a 65 Dart wagon in a junkyard with a roof rack on it. I grabbed it “just in case”. My wife said to paraphrase a proverb “when it rains parts, it pours parts”
 
I don't know what was offered from the factory (or the dealer) in Switzerland, but they didn't come from the factory like that in the U.S.
 
Our Aspen Wagon Stock/SS wagon still has
the original roof rack. My son used to have
Surfboards on it driving it around the pits. We took the wind deflector
off the gate as it slowed down the car too much.
