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.....
