55/56 hood and trunk lid compatability

[Dan S.]

I am in the market for a hood and trunk lid for my 1956 Coupe DeVille.  I have found a 1955 Coupe DeVille for parts, will the hood and trunklid directly swap from this 55 to my 56?

Thank you,
Dan

The 1955 Cadillac hood only fits 1955 Cadillac (Im not including Eldo here, ). The deck lid fits 1954-56 all 60s,62 exc 62 series 4 doors. BUT, if it is a used part be prepared to redrill the emblem holes. Warren
