Abstract
An inexpensive rack which is mounted on the roof of an automobile. Other objects are then mounted on the rack for transport with the automobile. The rack is an elongate lamination including a pair of opposed soft foamed outer layers, and an inner reinforcing layer therebetween. The reinforcing layer extends outwardly of the soft layers defining end tabular portions which are sandwiched between the car roof and the opposing doors to secure the rack to the vehicle. In a preferred embodiment, a pair of racks are mounted in spaced relation across the automobile roof. An object positioned thereon is secured to the automobile by conventional means of rope, straps, or the like.
