74 luggage rack???

Does anyone know if a luggage rack was available in 74? I cant find it in the 1974 options, but I discovered the mounting locations for mine while removing all the paint. So much of my car had been replaced with aftermarket items....Im just wondering if my top fiberglass is original.

My 74 has one. I believe they were a dealer installed option.

Passenger side mirrors and luggage racks were dealer installed items up through 77, or there abouts.

Dealer installed option. My '74 had one, too. Ratty thing, but it was there.

Dealer installed as well on my '74

The rear deck on the 'vert's can look pretty "bare" as the '74 also did not have an emblem on the gas lid cover. Some like the cleaner look w/o it, others like the extra bit of chrome back there. Here is with it in place (with hardtop installed as well):
