Hot Rods Have you ever seen a hood like this

I am posting this pic for a friend in Australia. He has 40 Ford and said this is the original hood for it. Have you ever seen a hood with these 3 "scoops" on the side of any 40 Ford ?hood ?

 

Yep, it is a 40 Ford deluxe with some goofy looking zeros stuck on it. Is it yours?

-Abone.

 

Buick wanna be!

 

I never seen a hood like that, but it wouldn't suprise me if someone used the fender ports of a 49 buick for a little custom expression. They look just like them.

 

so easy a child could do it.

 

Hood is original however the port holes as per Squirrel are aftermarket trinkets.

 

Somebody wishing they had a Buick way back when..

I love Buick's btw my first dealership( Firestone prior) job was as a Buick parts person ..almost exactly 20 yrs to the day as my Dad started as a counter person at the same dealership for the same owner... memories... I am old..,

 

That's what a brother of mine called Tennesse go fasters.

 

No not mine. I pretty much thought that was the case but didn't know if something could have been different across the ocean. It is a friends brother building am all original car. I will have to tell him to join up here on the HAMB, sure he would appreciate the info.

 

So many cars and trucks had those "trinkets" put on them in our town,
Western Auto and Coast to Coast stores must have sold millions. Probably could today.

 

When I "grow up" I wanna be like Squirrel!

They still sell a version of those, only they are plastic stick on. You can find them at Wal Mart and other chain stores. See them all the time on late model rice burners and other junk. The boyz in the da hood really go for them on their Chrysler 300's and Chevy Caprice's.

 

We can't afford Buicks here, we have to make our own.

 

Every fifth car in the metro Detroit area have 'em!

 

Erector set wheels, My cousin Fred put them on my aunts 37 Ford, If they were new, they were painted red in the center.
