Anybody have a 59 car hood release?
Is a '59 different from a '58?
Yes sir.
What part(s) do you need?
Several years ago, I went through every wrecking yard within 70 miles and stripped out all the upper and lower control arms for '57-59 and all the hood latches for '59. I have one on both of my '57s and the hood closes like butter. One spring and one moving part...much better design. I sold them all years ago.

... hmmph ...
THANX! for sharing that.
Going to call flat top Bob Monday!
The 59 HOOD LATCH was also a SERVICE REPLACEMENT for the 1957-58 FORD & BIRD, if that helps in a salvage yard search.
