Hood support rods

[1937McBuick]

Good day Folks,

 

It's been a while since I've been here and I'm looking for advice/ opinions.

 

While googling 37 Buick and looking at pictures,  I noticed these hood support rods on this 37.   I've never known them to be original equipment.   I assume they're aftermarket or from some other vehicle.   Does anyone recognize them?

 

My car is getting close to complete.....   I've had it since 1986,  it's about time!

1938 Buicks had a flat hood rod with a rubber tip that rotated up and down into a clip on the firewall.

Thanks Mark.  I just find it odd Buick in 1937 would have been satisfied resting the lower rear corner of the engine hood side panel on the cowel.  Rubber corner cover OR NOT.
