I seem to remember hoods with plastic windows, but I don't ever recall seeing a complete plexiglass hood. Pretty neat.

[hotrodladycrusr]

I've actually seen one on a stock Olds that my dad's buddy has in Sylvania, OH has. He told me each dealership got one back in the day. It was VERY cool looking in person.

Exactly! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
I wonder if I could retrofit that thing onto my 46? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[48_HEMI]

I remember the windows in 49 olds and 54 ford never seen the full hood got to be worth atleast $10.25 to someone

[kustm54]

Who cares if you have a car that it would fit, It would still make awesome garage art!!! If it was close by, I would bid on it.

that is just straight up sweeeeeeeeet!!!! i say get it and then get a 49 olds..ha...to cool...can you see it on the car with a nice engine underneath it. talk about eye catching...

[moondisc]

I just threw a bid in on it. If I get it, I'll buy a car to fit the hood!

[Kevin Lee]

Good luck, lately my thoughts are that once a desireable item hits the board the lurker hounds are officially released and middle income hot rodders are not safe to walk the streets of ebay...so that's it then, I'm headed to dig through the stash of wheels I found yeasterday until this blows over.

[hotrodladycrusr]

Will not only fit a 49 but a 50/51 as well http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Good Luck Charlie, just don't resell it to that NY butthead that you know. It's too cool for him http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[moondisc]

You talkin New Yawk or New Joesy butthead? hehe

[hotrodladycrusr]

Well I was thinking of the NY butthead but don't sell it to either. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif Buttheads don't deserve cool shit. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Bruce Lancaster]

There were also clear hoods made for Corvairs and for '32 Fords when they were introduced. Any others?
And, there's an early R&C article on making one for an A-V8.

[hotrodladycrusr]

Wasn't there a certain Mopar "Hemi under glass" ???? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[Dat Dirty Rat]

I know of another one,,but I believe its for a Ford..I cant remember what year & make...I'll have to check into it. If anybody might be interested in it..Hit me off with a pm...Dirty

[Bruce Lancaster]

Maybe the 1954 Ford with the new Y block?

[Reverendcolin]

Saw an Olds with the hood and all the graphics (for the new OHV motor) at the Bennington Vt. antique car show a couple years ago. Convertible with wind windows that lifted up from the backs of the front seats, So the ladies hair would not get messy.
Super nice stocker

[mytlo56]

Kane! Shit! My dad lives two hours from there. I'm bidding on this sum bitch. If I happen to get it I conveniently enough have my 56 Vic being shipped out to Seattle here shortly. It'll fit in there one way or another.

[av8]

I haven't seen a full plexiglass showroom hood since 1949! I did see a windowed steel demonstrator hood on a restored '49 88 fastback two-door about a dozen years ago. I struck up a conversation with the owner who was friendly and talkative until I brought up the subject of the full plexi hood, at which point he denied that they ever existed and turned just a touch churlish. Gotta love some of those restorers . . .

[Rolf]

Yup, I think I have to buy a car for it !

Way cool!

[safariknut]

About 1939 or 1940 Pontiac made a show car with the ENTIRE body of Plexiglas!I believe it was for the New York World's Fair and it was featured in High Performance Pontiac a few years ago.Supposedly it is still displayed at various Pontiac events.Will have to find the issue and do a scan.

[Boones]

wish it would fit my 53 chevy...I would have to bring that one home..

[TP]

I bet it goes for at least a grand.

[mytlo56]

$500 reserve, just chatted w/ the guy.

[hotrodladycrusr]

I've got a hardback book, 100 years of Oldsmobiles or something like that. I'll pruse it tonight and see if I can find a photo of the '49 with that hood on it. If so, I'll scan and post.

[moondisc]

I know who the Joesy butt head is, which NY butthead?
There are so many to chose from! hehe
BTW, The Hemi Under Glass was under the back window of a old fastback Cuda. It was a wheelstander.
