In the mid 90's I bought a good basic Hollywood rack that didn't have the fancy individual holders as shown in your link. It was a good basic rack. The only downfall of course is that you don't have hatchback access. That is the appeal of the top mount. But the top-mount obviously limits your overhead clearance. The only other down side for the Hollywood style is that the foam against the paint will leave a rub or fade mark after a time.....
