1937/1938 Ford Hood Ornament question
Hi,
Will a 1938 Ford hood ornament fit and function properly as a hood latch on a 1937 hood? Thanks! |

I don't think anything from a 38 Deluxe will fit a 37. The handle from a 38 standard might fit a 37, but the trim piece will not bolt on.

The shaft on a '38 standard hood ornament is longer than the '37. Even the plate on the bottom of the shaft which engages the stud is slightly different. They will not interchange.

I would like to think that what you say is "quite" obvious BUT one never assumes anything. Jay Thanks for sharing that info.....Hard to believe that two cars that appear very very similar other than slight styling change are that different!!! Great info |
