I voted for the flat hood.

I'm a big fan of the oai hoods but it looks out of place on a 74 or 75 cutlass. The 74 and 75's look rounded and curvy and the rectangles of the oai just look out of place.

If you would have had a 76 or up cutlass I would have voted for the oai hood.These body styles are more rectangle or square looking.

I know the 70-72 bodies are rounded looking also but the oai hood just works good with these.

just one mans opinion

Stock 442 hood for sure, on that model. The scoops just don't seem to look right. Looks as if your survey is going to save you some $$$$!

I really like the OAI hood on the 76/77 cars, but I too think the flat hood looks better on the 73-75 years.
