hemirunner426 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) Hi,i am looking for the hood latch mechanism for my 1937 desoto...The hood opens from the front,it has the flying goddess that you turn to open the hood.I think it is a one year thing.Plymouths and dodges open from the side.I think 1937 Chryslers might be the same.......Thank you for the opportunity to post this add.I have since learned the part number for the assembly 745554.Chrysler C14,C15 and C16 have the same mechanism.

JACK M Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 That is an elusive mechanism and has been searched here more than once before. They are very cool when they work properly. Sold my 37 a few months ago, Best of luck in your search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
