Great image of a nice vehicle. However, the day/night hood is a little strange for my taste. Hope the owner is not offended as it's only my opinion.

After posting these photos of the Ford, I remembered that Ford was not the only manufacturer to employ this "see-through" hood as an advertising gimmick as Oldsmobile did it as well. A search on Bing produced photos and information that can be found in the link below.

This isn’t the first Ford I’ve seen with a window in the hood.

I don't think I have seen a hood like this one FL Streetrodder.

Nice, although I'm not crazy about the hood.
My father had a 54 Ford. Just a 4 dr sedan, not a convertible. He actually let me customize it. I frenched the headlights, removed the rear door handles, replaced the grille with a 55 and the tail lights with 56 Olds lights, lowered the rear end and installed dual exhaust and lake pipes. I was a teenager at the time without my own car.
