    Hood spears C1

    Is it safe to say the hood spears idea on the 57 to 62 Corvette was borrowed from the 300SL ?

    Yes. However, on the 300 SL there was function before style in that the driver's side bump was necessary to provide clearance for the valve cover on the engine which had been turned 40 degrees from the horizontal to lower the front profile of the vehicle. The passenger's side bump provided clearance for the intake manifold.
