Default Seen in Deale. MD

The hood louvers are different! Making the hinge loops on a custom hood seems like more work than finding good stock parts. Any ideas or has anyone seen this before? (I wasn't there to talk to the owner.)

3 door hoods were aftermarket accessories. Used to be sought after.
I like them but does alter “Ford look”

Thumbs up Re: Seen in Deale. MD

I saw a pic once of a restored '31 "A" roadster with a 4-door hood. The hood side panels most likely came from a '32 (only one year) Chevy. Looked cool to me!
