This is an original 1938 Ford Standard Lower Hood Latch Plate.  Good condition, solid, few dings, some lite pitting and a few spots of pitting in areas-see photos.  Some grinder marks around a couple holes-see photos.  This mounts to the top of the Grille/Hood Sides and the Hood Latch Bolt mounts to this.  This fits all '38 Ford Standard passenger cars.  Please check my other auctions.
