cars and trucks wearing canoes as hats...

Great credit goes to all those posting beautiful canoes on their vehicles but you have to start somewhere. 1906 White Canoe. 18' At least 14 ribs, yards of beveled planking and custom rolled copper stem pieces.

Can you tell me anything about the rack? Did you install the landing pads? Do you like them?

Dave. I ordered the Toyota without factory racks. Installed the long Yakima rails and clips. The towers and long rails lock on and off easily. I can carry two full sized canoes. Very satisfactory. R.C.

Another Dave......Is this a Venza or other. I am trying to replace the Blazer with a similarly low carrier ( as in under 66 " ) and the choices are limited. Able to be confident with two canoes is a very good thing. Dave

Dave 2, RAV4. A little short but adequate.

This hasn't been updated in a while so let me add a few more. The one at https://www.wcha.org/forums/index.php?attachments/42233/ is probably the largest canoe on the smallest car while https://www.wcha.org/forums/index.php?attachments/42878/ is the reverse and https://www.wcha.org/forums/index.php?attachments/35985/ may be the largest overall. The least safe may be shown at https://www.wcha.org/forums/index.php?attachments/43113/ but it was only for a low speed parade. The wagon ride at https://www.wcha.org/forums/index.php?attachments/44373/ and car ride at https://www.canoetripping.net/attachments/133675/ seem like the least comfortable. The canoes and cars at https://www.wcha.org/forums/index.php?attachments/46207/ and http://www.wcha.org/forums/index.php?attachments/31971/ are well matched. I frequently need to move more than one canoe as shown at http://www.wcha.org/forums/index.php?attachments/5305/ and especially to the Assembly as shown at https://www.canoetripping.net/attachments/133666/ and https://www.canoetripping.net/attachments/img_3879-jpg.133667/ for example.

Just keep going straight on!!

The first beetle looks like a '65. The second one looks to be a '67.

Someone finally solved the Subaru roof rack short wheelbase problem.

Carrying a canoe on top of some of the early cars was a challenge.

Great pix, Dom! In the first one, the pickup truck looks like the 1951 Chevy I drove to school in 1966. But ours was not the deluxe version, i.e. we had no corner windows on the back of the cab, as your green one has here (but hard to see).
