Hot Rods Let's see some scoop's, louver's and bubbled hoods

What a beauty, I love the 52-54 fords. HRP

 

For my 41 truck under construction. Russ Meeks handiwork.

 

You don't often see a 55 chevy with a bubble hood.

 

No shortage of cold air with this monster.

 

I've shown these pics before. Built this '40 pickup (37 passenger nose) back in the '90s. Despite the "drag race" look, it wasn't all that fast.

 

Is that from a JC Whitney catalog? I used to spend hours pouring over those pages and loved them.

 

My old 52 F2

 

@Almostdone -
Sure is J.C. Whitney!
Built the surplus jeep and baja bug in my head lots of times reading through it.
Hood ornaments had a similar page.

 

Looks right at home on the '55.

 

72 Louvers. I'm a Lover of Louvers.

 

..............and 25 on the side.

My beater bird with a bubble

 

I don't recall ever seeing a teardrop bubble hood on a tri five Chevy and 2 show up on this thread, I'm surprised it's not seen more often, they look great on these two cars. HRP

 

Its not a scoop but its not merely flat steel either. Perhaps a popped blister? The Stromberg oculus in my roadster.

 

^The antiscoop^

 

Can't forget custom guys use scoops too.
