Example cars built in Buffalo may use different latches than say Oakland. Maybe if you posted a picture someone may have some good used ones that match yours. I'm not sure if anybody make new ones. joe See America's First...Chevrolet 1931 Sedan Delivery 31570 1933 Standard Sports Coupe 33628. 1934 Master Sedan Delivery Canadian 177/34570 1968 Z/28 Camaro 1969 SS 396 Camaro

The price is $99.50 for a set of four latches. They also have the hood latch hooks as well, part number GR-150. A set of four sells for $65.00.

If anyone is interested, I have the old ones off my 31. There are two different styles they are not a matching set. But if someone needs one or two it could help finish a set. They are functional. Would need some work to get looking good . They have numerous coats of paint on them. Have latching plates as well. Good luck.........Shocks
