Hot Rods Is this a 1932 hood?

How can you tell?

Thanks,

Scott

 

Looks like a 28-29 model a hood to me.

 

Measure the length front to back, # of inches = date '28- '29 - '30- '31 louvers play a roll in '32

 

another pic. I thought there should be a slight sweep in the bottom but can't tell if there is from the picture.

 

Here goes

Awesome. Thank you. This helps a lot. Cool that the hood hinge approximates the year.

32 was the first year for the stainless steel center hood hinge. a big improvement over the Model A design that resulted in chipped paint and rust. Very easy to spot.

 

32 hood have 20 or 25 louvres

30/31 hood have 22 louvres and are on a raised panel

 

Listen to tommy. He knows his $tuff...

 

blew up the pic and counted 20 louvers. is it worth $400 in good condition?
