Looking good, JW.
jK - The issue with the coupe/sedan angle of rack is related to the bumper braces on the junior cars, not the rack supports, along with fitting adjustments.
See the parts book.

The 39 Super 8's are a bit of an anomaly. I have always been of the belief and OPINION that the 39 Super 8's deserve to be (correctly) fitted with the Senior style rack, however, in my re-reading the parts book it lists both as available for the 17th series, much to my chagrin of criticizing 39 Super 8's with junior racks. Yes, I read the parts book as well, and re-read it too...I don't like 39 Super 8's with junior racks, but will have to learn to live with them...and keep my opinions to myself.

I would be curious to know how the 39 Super 8's are illustrated in the catalog's or factory photo's...apparently not that it matters...
