1960 1961 C-1 Hood

[Steven B.]

Can some one please help me correctly identify a 1960 or 1961 C-1 Hood? I know that they all were able to accomodate the top tank radiator, compared to the others. Please help - pics would be helpful too.
Regards,
Steve

Re: 1960 1961 C-1 Hood

A 60 and 61 hood are pretty much identical except that the 61-62 style hood has a notch in the center of the front ledge to clear the center clamp on the top of the aluminum radiator. The 60 used a top tank radaiator and did not use this clamp. It was attached on the sides. The difference in the 59 and 60 hoods was pretty subtle, and you can't use the 59 hood on a 60 if it is equiped with a top tank radiator. The front shelf wad widened in 60 to accomodate the wider radiator support that the aluminum radiator used. If you search the archives, I think you will find a pic that was posted by Roy that shows pics of all the hoods side-by-side.
