1956-57 Chevrolet Corvette Fiberglass Original Hood on 2040-parts.com
Manhattan Beach, California, US
1956-57 Press Molded Original Corvette Hood. This hood came off of my 1956 Corvette. I have just finished restoring the car. When I got to the hood issue, I decided to buy a new one as I was not doing the work myself and had some time issues to complete the car. The hood is in primer. I would consider it is good condition, however, it does need some work to anchor and secure the areas for the hardware. When the hinges were attached there was some movement and not as sturdy as I would like. The solution, according to the restorer was to reinforce the areas where there was stress. It could be done but would take some time. Therefore, I bought a new hood. I am happy to answer any questions. Thanks, 310-562-2033. Larry

Aston Martin eyes Lagonda comeback
Tue, 15 Oct 2013The last time we saw an Aston Martin Lagonda on the street, it looked like its sharp angles could deflect not only police radar and laser, but give pedestrians a paper cut if they weren't careful. And the last time we saw a Lagonda concept -- at the 2009 Geneva motor show -- it looked like, well, like what you see above. We're still not sure what we see above, and leading scientists aren't sure, either.
