TomTom;

I agree with Pearl...the Thule rack system (named I believe after that very cold place in Greenland), is a super practical, modular, quality system, with separate "Foot Kits", crossbars, and mounts for everything from skis, to canoes, to rooftop boxes, to lumber, to straps for moving your uncles' barkalounger....with the standard gutter foot kit, it fits everything from an 1800, to an Amazon, to a 700, and with a different foot kit easily also could fit more modern, gutterless cars in your stable...they have a website which I'm sure will take any search engine about a millisecond to find....plan on spending $150 - 200 to start ...not cheap ...but worth it!

Cheers

I'm not affiliated with these guys, but I know a good product when I see one ...and have satisfactorily use it for a loooong time...from the 122, to the 1800, to the 745 family truckster!

Trailer hitches:

I've seen a couple of different styles for 122s, from those which bolt through the floor of the trunk and just reach under the bumper and also bolt to that, to the (undoubtedly heavier duty) European style which have an additional crossmember which attaches to the rear frame rails.

I'll try to make/find some pix of both styles.

As promised!
