The bike when new likely came with drop bars, thus it probably was converted to flat more upright bars. If you wanted to go back to drop bars, you are talking about the cost for shifters and brake levers too.

I do not think I have ever seen that front rack before.

I am not sure but I think there is a trailer hitch on it, for which brand of trailer I have no clue.
