The Mack Truck hinge that was traditionally recommended for use in the '37 Hudson or Terraplane, was part #40 M12 P23100. 

While you're at the parts department, ask to see a # 4QM12P5 from the "B" model Mack..

One other possibility I've heard: the center hinge for an MGTD, TC or TF.  The part number 453-050 keeps cropping up, for this chrome plated brass strip.  If you have a British car repair shop nearby, you could drive over with your broken piece and check the MG's out!

Here's a British company selling a similar hinge: http://www.vintagecarparts.co.uk/categories/vintage-car-parts-coachfittings-and-body-parts-bonnet-hinge .  It's available in two different lengths.   I don't see a make or model application for this hinge.





Early last year a series of similar hinges were sold on Ebay.  Here is a link to the old auction (now ended):  http://www.ebay.com/itm/1920s-1930s-CHEVROLET-HUDSON-REO-DODGE-40-REPLACEMENT-STAINLESS-HOOD-HI-/261365771248?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cda9d2bf0&vxp=mtr   You could go to the auction and see if you can contact the seller to find out if he has more.   Here is the actual hinge cross section:



(I think this is the same one that Ken U. just posted, above.

Not sure if any of these will work, but they're worth checking out.
