Guest tommigun Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I found a 47 olds 4 dr that had been sitting outside on a farm for 40 years. I wanted to check the serial number on the firewall but the cable release broke at the primary release. Is there any way to open this hook now? I can't get my hand through the grill to access the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Cocuzza Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Usually a long screwdriver can be inserted in the mechanism through the grill and that will release the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tommigun Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Thanks for the suggestion. I couldn't get the latch to open. I finally removed the drivers side headlight assembly and reach across to release the primary latch. I have all the serial numbers but can't decode.Serial number is 7351904169 model 35-19 Engine serial number is C846541Trim 372 Paint 707 Body 2476Any suggestions?
