34 Hudson Terraplane Coupe Hood Latch

    I am finishing up my coupe and need the hood latches so I can fit everything prior to painting. Does anyone know where I might buy these or what the length of the latch is. I am not restoring the coupe to original so original equipment is not rquired. Thanks, Walt



    P.S. I will try to post some current pictures of the coupe on the Hot Rod Forum this weekend.

    Yes Bob, My coupe is in the progress of being rodded and should go to paint in the next 2 weeks. It has a 350 w/350 tranny. If you go to the Hot Rod section and go to page 2, you can find some pictures under 34 Coupe in progress. I was going to post some updated photos today, but when I went to the shop to take pictures, my camera batteries were dead. I will try to post some updated pictures this week.

    I am in the process of finishing a 35 Hudson 8 and have been told that Jeep Wrangler hood latches are a close match to the Hudson hood latches though I never checked it out. There was a 35 Hudson 6 at the Reno National that used them.-Terry

    Spent most of my life down in Huntsville, wish I had known there was a Hudson nut so close. I retired a few weeks ago--guess I'll never be back that way again....... Perhaps a national in Nashville might do it?
