Technical Help with part fit

Hey all. New to the forum. Looking for help. I can't find replacment hood hinges for my 1940 Pontiac Special 6 Business Coupe. Does anyone know what parts, makes, years can I use as hood hinges. My car came without these. Thanks!

 

Same year Chevy or Olds would be a starting point. Google some images of those for a look. On lower production cars like yours, you might just have to find something close and modify it.

 

• The entry level Pontiac was known as the Special Six and offered five (5) models; business coupe, sport coupe, 2 door sedan, 4 door sedan and station wagon. They were all built on a 116.5” wheelbase chassis (Advertised as 117”) and featured the small A-body shared with Chevrolet and Oldsmobile (60 series) ;
• The Deluxe Six and Deluxe Eight rode on a 120” wheelbase chassis and mounted the larger B-body shared with the junior series Oldsmobile, Buick and Cadillac.

As stated start with similar YOM Chevrolet; check length, tension, mounting style and number of coils with yours, otherwise you may have to improvise.

 

Thanks! I've been looking for 1940 Chevy as well but since I don't have any hood hinges, wasn't sure about the fit.

 

Unless you can get a definitive answer here, your first step is to locate what the ones you are missing look like. Maybe try a Pontiac forum or one of the forums on the AACA website?

 

Thanks! I'm new to this so I'll give that a try!
