1964 dynamic 88 convertible


Hey guys I'm new to this forum and new to this vehicle. I'm in desperate need of a hood. Anyone know if any other olds/ b body will fit for front end parts? I've searched all over and it seems they dont reproduce any metal for these.

I doubt you will find other hoods that shall interchange. What is wrong with your hood? Why do you think it it not able to be repaired?

Start scouring eBay, the western junkyards, etc. Good luck!

Welcome. Unfortunately these cars are not popular enough to justify the costs of stamping repro parts. Good used is your only option. Nothing but 1964 Olds full size fits. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. I've been looking all over ebay a '62 hood wouldn't fit? I've yet to find a hood from a 64.

What do you think? Look CLOSELY at the feature lines stamped into the hood. Here's a 64:

You might possibly come closer with one from a '63 (I know the trunk lids are interchangeable because my '64 had a '63 trunk lid when my dad first acquired it in the late '70s) but I know the corner pieces that tie the front fenders into the hood have a little different contour on the '63.
