1934 CA Rumble Seat Coupe

I've got a 1934 CA coupe I'm working on and have a small problem. I have the front fenders on and what I think is the correct hoods and grill shell, but the hoods are about 3" short. How can I tell what doesn't belong? Hoods seem to match the cab lines very good and the lower sides have horizontal louvers with what looks like trim mounting holes in multiple locations. I can post a pix of the front end if that would help. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If your hood is 3" short, you no doubt have a sedan hood. 1934 Dodge and Chrysler coupe hoods are approx 3" longer than sedan hoods.

Thanks! To my knowledge, the grille shells are the same.

Hello, ok. there is a difference due to in 1934 oldsmobile they made inline six motors and straight eights or v8. depending on what model you got. if it had a six motor in it the fenders hood and grill shell are 3 in shorter. the grill shell is narrower. the eight motor body style is 3 in bigger. you need to detine which engine came in you car. you can email me djcew@aol.com with some pictures of you body and i can help. i have 2 3 window coupes and one 4 dr riht now i am restoring. i can also put you in touch with 2 guys that are experts. parts are hard to come buy. i bought a 4dr for parts after picking it up i found that it was in such good shape i cannot cut it up. it is complete and orignal. hopefully this helps

Are you certain that your car is a CA with a 117" long wheelbase and not a CB which has a 121" long wheelbase? Not to insult you on your knowledge of your car....just don't know if you have had it a long time and are certain.

Think you will find the CA & CB are the same length in the hood, the extra 4 inches are in the rear door; just for what its worth.

That's good to know...had no idea. In the 30, 31 and 32 Dodges and Chryslers the difference was in the hood and front fender lengths. Thanks.
