Re: Value of a '57 Hood?

Well, to be honest, I would almost bet the whole front is for a '57. But the fenders that were on it were fiberglas. I have already bought new metal fenders and they did not fit the grille and upper/lower grille parts all that well. That is why I suspect they are all '57 parts.
But as I said, I have new fenders and am planning on replacing all the front grille area with proper '55 parts. Just though I could save the hood and make it look like a '55.
I think my plan will be to replace the hood with a repo '55.
