Title: 1937 Cadillac series 60 Hood Rest Fittings
Post by: jackworstell on July 15, 2016, 09:18:26 PM
On the firewall of a 1937 Series 60,  near the top,   are two fittings ( right and left ) that the hood halves rest on when the hood is opened up and raised.   I think they are spring loaded.

Anyone have a pair of these ?

Are these the same as the 75 series? My Master Parts List says they are a different part number (1421857 and 1421858 instead of 142 1859 and 1421860) but the Seat Rubber is the same so.......

I think I have a spare set for a 75 series somewhere.

Steve/Jack,

Sorry about the wait..... there is this new bathroom that's been taking up a bit of my time !!!???!$&&&!!

I found these but the next question is, do I have two sets? I think so but where?

Steve,

Perhaps if you start by even telling us if they are corrrect for the 60 series?
