Got a website for these?   Millennium industries is a popular name,  I looked at a few dozen places and only one made any car parts.

Another question:  Are the pads Press Molded Rubber or Die Cut Fiberglass?

Used them for my 67 Nova, restored 5 yrs ago.  Still holding up well.   Not sure about the Caddy ones, but the Nova ones were nice and fit well.  Chaz

hello - appears to be press molded rubber - is that ok to use ? the original appears to be die cut fiberglass - mine still has the original one on it - but it is starting to come apart !

I believe these pads are for noise reduction.  They help reduce noise a little.  Cheaper cars don't use them.  If you have the remnants of fiberglass, then that's most likely what your car had when new.  If you are concerned about authenticity, then you should use fiberglass.  Otherwise, use the molded rubber or nothing at all.
Looks like OPGI has the hood pad:

Suggest you give them a call.
