Hot Rods Pre-War hood ID

Hi All,
I need help identifying this hood. I found it in the middle of the desert and I saved it from eventually being shot up in target practice. Thank you in advance.

 

Paging @VANDENPLAS
Its a big dodge ball dam it !
Let the fun begin !

 

What did Mohammed Ali say ?

Dodge like a ****erfly sting like a Dodge ?


I’ll bet a donut it’s a dodge

 

More pictures. The hood sides measure approximately 20¾" X 27¾".

 

Now with these more clear shots of the handles and the latch tabs, I bet @squirrel will know exactly what it is!
He never misses.

 

I have no idea

 

Because of the heavy handles and the stout latch tabs, it may be from a Jaeger or LeRoi industrial air compressor, possibly from an old tractor as well. I thought for sure Squirrel would identify it right away!

 

I first thought it was a Model A hood, but I think it is too big. Could it be a Model AA (truck) hood?
Any more guesses? Thanks!

 

Looks a lot like a fire engine hood I repaired for the city. I forget what the make was. It was around 1930ish.

 

Model A has different latches but the louvers do look close. An AA would use the same hood as everything else I believe.

28/9 have a hood that’s a similar length but this isn’t giving me model A vibes in general.

I’m going with fire engine

 

Those latch straps look like the hood is held down by leather straps.

 

Anyone want to take a shot at ID'ing this hood?

 

Its a Rusty model...

 

No idea what it is but thanks for saving it. Amazing to think how long it's been out there, how it got there, and that it hasn't already been shot up.

 

AA truck hood is same as Model A car, '28-'29 is same and '30-'31 is same.

 

I think vehicle related, since the tops narrow down.
