Name of type of hood???

Can’t seem to find these online anywhere only the OAI hood. Anyone have the name of this hood 1970 cutlass supreme. Want to buy a brand new identical one but can’t find online anywhere. Am I missing something.

You will probably have to buy a used one. Check Ebay, also put a add in the parts wanted on this site. I'm sure there are some out there.

You don't WANT a restoration part hood. Get a good original and repaint it and know it will fit.

FYI, that is a Cutlass S hood. Note the S emblem on the hood tooth. The Supreme hood is flat, has a chrome strip down the center (referred to as the "hood spear"), and the tooth has the Oldsmobile rocket.

As noted, that is not a Cutlass Supreme hood, it is a Cutlass S/442 hood, but despite the incorrect grilles, you car isn't a Cutlass Supreme either. The rear side window profile and the "S" emblem on the hood tooth show this to be a Cutlass S. The VIN will prove it - a Cutlass Supreme 2dr HT will have a VIN that starts 342570xxxxxxx. I'm guessing your car has a VIN that starts 336870xxxxxxx. In any case, since every 1970 Olds 2dr has a reproduction O.A.I. hood today. there are a bazillion of these original metal hoods laying in garages or offered for sale on FB marketplace at stupid money asking prices. The last one I sold at Carlisle went for $50 because no one wanted it. Why people think they are worth $400 or $500 remains a mystery to me.

damn thanks for the info. I was told it’s a supreme but will have to check the vin when I have a chance. I definitely love the double hump look for the vehicle. Not willing to pay over 1000 for a OAI just yet, hopefully I can find another 50 dollar one. Didn’t know those differences on the hoods.

Did you just want the hood as a spare? I see paint damage on the hood in the first pic you posted. Surely the hood isn't unsalvageable?

Actually I think he's concerned about what appears to be about a quarter inch or so of bondo. While that can be fixed, getting those flat panels straight and not "oil canning" is a metalworking challenge.
