Nothing but hoods!
Great old nostalgic pic! Thanks for these Galen!

$10 says that's a production still from an official GM movie marketing & PR MNGMNT was known for during that decade. If you look closely on the right, you can see a vertical round "movie spot" being used to light a scene.
This is a pretty cool behind-the-scenes-photo in more ways than one! 😎 😎 😎

Weird for me that you posted that photo. Around 1963, our neighbor took my Dad and I on a tour of the Chevrolet factory. In my memory I saw a stack of hoods. I remember them as 55 or 56 hoods. But it is impossible for a 4 year old to see 1955 hoods in 1963. But that's my memory of the tour. 🤔 🙄

Cool shot Galen. That hood probably weighs as much as a VW bug, lol.😁

I wonder how many green hoods ended up on blue cars.
