What was the cut off for the early type hood prop?
I thought it was this style (below) for 56-61 but not sure

Hey Derluft, both my 58, and my 61 have the style like what is pictured above. Both ones I know are original to the cars.

I've also got this one in my 56.

oct 55 vert
sept 55 sedan
nov 58 vert
1959 export

1960 export

I bought a 55 4 tab hood with the other type attached so I thought it might be a early/late thing.
Thanks for the feedback |

Apologies to the poster, but I made a local copy of these and can't find them on the gallery to give credit to who posted them.

Ya, that is awesome info, thanks! But what sucks is the fact that now I know that the one one my 61 is wrong.
