Being 6' 3, I'm getting tired of hitting my head on the trunk lid:angry: Wondering if anyone has modified the hinges so when the trunk lid opens, the lid would be up more vertical, out of the way? This is on a 52 Hornet. You would think after hitting it a few times I would learn!! Bill
Gotta love those pointy corners on the hood, too. You can always tell a guy who works on Hudsons.....he has scars on the top of his head. (mine are quite visible as some of you know).

Ill tell you one that is worse, a Studebaker Hawk hood!
Maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way. My new outlook.........I would be honored to hit my head on my 52 Hornet convertible, and if I owned a 57 Golden Hawk, I would say the same! At least I still have some hair to hide the scars. It's all in the way you look at it, I guess....... It still hurts though!
I've always thought of stepdown hoods as sort of an eagle's beak shape. They just swoop down and bite at your scalp.
