Hood Support for 48 Frazer
« on: July 26, 2012, 09:30:15 PM »
I saw a post from several months ago about hood supports for a 47 Frazer. Question: did the 48 come with hood supports?

I seem to remember that those hood supports were only on the really early Graham-Paige built Frazers. Someone confirm this?

The earlier '47's had the hood supports as well as the larger radiators and other differences as well.  My GP Frazer even has a trunk support.  There were many running changes to the earlier cars. I had an early 1947 Manhattan that still had the hood supports so they were still using them up thru March of 1947.
