This is the front hood latch support and brace from a 1957 Cadillac. This should fit all 1957 Cadillac's, except Brougham. This fits in between the rad cradle and the front bumper. The hood latch mounts in it and it supports the latch. There is also a verticle piece that goes down to the front splash pan in front of the rad. They have some minor surface rust on them and someone has drill 3 holes in the one to mount something, I have shown this in the pictures. They will sand blast and paint up nicely. It is not bent or twisted, it's nice and straight. This would be an easy fix if your's is rusted or bent. Comes As Shown, As Is.
