The other thing(s) you'll need if you want to use a trunk on your car: You'll quickly notice that with the accessory trunk on the rack, you will no longer be able to open your regular trunk. Packard offered a set of folding brackets that allowed you to swing the trunk forward, allowing you to open the regular trunk. You may need to "rig" up your own brackets, though, as the original brackets are scarce.
In my opinion, though, the accessory trunk does absolutely nothing for the looks of the car. I would only put it on when touring (your regular trunk should suffice, though), or if you just want to show it off as a novelty.
