Did Olds offer a w30 hood that was all fiberglass with a screen on the bottom side,compared to my wifes 442 that has most of the bottom frame work is metal.Just trying to figure out what this hood is off of.Does anyone have pictures of the two different sylyes,on the bottom side? Thanks

 

Olds hoods are metal frame, with a fiberglass top. If yours is all fiberglass,it is aftermarket.

 

Someone from 442.com said there are different stlyes of these hoods,the W CARS had lite weight all fiberglass hoods? I know this hood is from at least late 80s,did they repop them that far back? Thanks

 

"Someone" would be wrong. I have an all-fiberglass repro that I bought in the early 1980s. Actually, since it's all-fiberglass, "repro" is not the right word...

 

The only "different" hoods I've heard of was the one that fits the 1970 model and the one that fits the 1971-72. Other than fit, my understanding is that there was one type made. It had a metal frame with fibreglass skin. Although they mean well, 442.com is not always right.

 

And they never correct their mistakes either.
