Hello, I have a clean set of GM original hood hinges that I removed from a 1976 Cadillac Eldorado. This Eldorado is located in the southern California Mohave Desert where it has experienced very little weather, extremely low humidity, and no salted roads. Consequently this 40 year-old set has survived in nice condition. Both springs are the original GM springs and are still very strong as the hood lifted with minimal effort and held up firmly in place. Much of the original factory gray paint is still present however there visible areas of rust especially on the two large arms that mount to the hood. There are no cracks in the castings and both hinges are factory stamped #4200. On the driver side hinge all the rivets are tight, however on the passenger side hinge one of the rivets on the large mounting plate has a significant amount of play and should be tightened or replaced in the very near term (see picture #2). I've discounted the asking price of this nice set due to this loose rivet.  My Hollander Interchange Manual (referred to as "The Bible" in the wrecking industry) states this set is correct for and will fit the below Cadillacs. As a "picker" I have removed and sold hood hinges from each of the models below so I can guarantee the fitment of this set of hinges. Hollander interchange number for this set is #298. Thanks, Don

1975 - 1978 Cadillac Eldorado

**Will not fit Seville.

Concept Car of the Week: Opel CD (1969)

Fri, 24 Jan 2014

Despite its sophisticated suspension and spacious interior, Opel struggled to sell its big Diplomat luxury sedan. It was 1968 and Opel simply couldn't compete with Mercedes-Benz, the leader in that segment by far. Bob Lutz, then a young executive at GM Europe, thought of using the sedan's chassis to create a large GT Coupe in an attempt to boost both its sales and profile.

HBH tunes an Aston Martin V12 Vantage into the Bulldog GT

Tue, 08 Nov 2011

We love one-off specials here at Autoweek almost as much as we love the supercars upon which they're based. And if you're a tuner trying to pick a good chassis, we can't think of a much better place to start than the Aston Martin V12 Vantage. That's what Danish company HBH did for its Bulldog GT.

Bad-tempered driving increases over winter

Fri, 03 Jan 2014

We’re officially a nation of grumpy drivers – not helped by the bad weather and the end of Christmas festivities, a survey has revealed. Halfords Autocentres carried out a study about how winter affects motorists and found that experiences of impatient, aggressive and inconsiderate driving increase at this time of year. On Bing: see pictures of road rage British drivers ‘lack common courtesy’ Rory Carlin from Halfords Autocentres: “It seems that the festivities take their toll on the nation’s road manners and tempers flare leading to less kindness and unselfish behaviour from some motorists.” 23% of respondents felt that unfriendly and bad tempered behaviour was a major issue during the winter months, while a fifth said there was a rise in aggressive and impatient driving.
