What else will my '53 hood fit? It's in excellent shape, virtually zero rust, and has is still the original dark green. I'd rather trade it for other stuff, but would sell it. I need to know what else it'll fit, first.



Yeah, I know the hood ornament is unique to '53, but I want to know what other year Hornets the hood will physically interchange with.

    Most years are specific to that year. From the parts sheets I have the only years that overlap are 1952-1953 Pacemaker & Wasp (SWB).



    1953 Hornet fits 1953 Hornet. Tho I imagine with a little "imagineering" it could be fitted to other LWB cars from 1951 thru 1953.

    Patrick, your hood will physically fit '52 and '53 Hornets only. :)

    Alex is right as far as doing it by the book as well as his guess on imagineerability
    obviously your hood will fit 53 hornets but by filling holes, 52 Hornet and Commodore
    filling holes and swapping the center grille housing will get it onto a 51 super commodore or hornet.

    Cool, thanks guys. I knew it would not fit a '54, but was not too sure about a '50 or '51.
