68 Camaro Ski Rack option? Any pics of one?

[JK98SS]

A local forum was discussing some oddball options on early Camaro. The ski rack was brought up. Was it a roof mount or was it a trunk lid mount similar to the C3 Corvette?
A local guy has an original bench seat 1st gen Camaro.

I think it was a roof mount.. Big Steve, SYC Member 68l30, I think has one that might be NOS for his Camaro. Cool, unique and hard to find option...

You mean one similar to this one



I have a 68 Luggage Rack and know of two guys that have surf board racks for the boards as well

Trunk Lid mount. There have been a couple of NOS ones for sale on ebay, but that was about 7-8 years ago.

Dealer Accessory item.

I've seen a picture of a 69 camaro that was ordered by a skier brand new & if i re-call it was white with black stripes & a black vinyl top with white stripes & a rack on the roof with ski's.

I recall the picture from Michael Lamm's book on the Camaro. The car was Jean Claude Killy's and had an integrated trunk spoiler also, very cool. Killy became a spokesman for Chevrolet after winning all three olympic events in 1968.

I always thought optional Ski racks came in two possible generic formations.
One attached to the already mounted steel tube constructed roof or deck lid luggage carrier.
The other was an easily demountable 2-pc.unit,not needing a luggage carrier at all,but would fit on any vehicle so long as it had roof top side rain gutters.
