I believe that's a Pontiac hood...The 1932 Chevy hood does not have the raised rectangular  area around the hood doors.

Ok, I haven't a clue. At least you guys know, thanks Moose. I'll change the heading. I would like to know if other than cosmetics, will it fit a 32 Chevy?

  I thinking finding out the length of a 1932 Chevrolet hood would be easier than finding the specs  for a 32 pontiac or a 32 oldsmobile, both of those cars had doors in the hood.. for 32.

In 1932 Pontiac offered 2 motors the V8 from the Oakland and the regular twin head six in the Pontiac.  An examination of the wheel bases might lead to some info. Also a search for 1932 pont and 1932 olds pictures on line would shed some light  Never know could be a Cadillac or a LaSalle

For 1932 olds offered a straight six and a straight 8 so that might make for a longer hood.

When in doubt post the length of the side panels in any ads.

I believe that both the Cadillac and Oldsmobile have 5 hood doors. It looks like the accent line at the side hood hing in the picture is much wider than the Chevy. If I remember correctly the Pontiac roadster had the wide trim but not sure about the other models

WAYNER........a 1932 Chevrolet coupe body was made by FISHER , the roadster and touring bodies are made by  an outside supplier . The rumble seat lid should not be the same as a coupe. 

On my 35 roadster the rumble seat lid is 2" narrower and 1 1/4" shorter than a coupe. The pattern shape of the quarter panels is different than a closed car.

I would have to assume that this would apply to the 1932 model year also.

Thanks for the help on identification of this hood fellas. He was able to sell locally once it was ID'ed. He thanks you all!  He is interested in joining when he gets the means to do so.
