BelAir,
looks like a retractable two piece rod that extends out to fit into a clip on the fender support brace, then retracts back to fit into the clip on the inner fender edge near the hinge when closed. Jon, great pic's, looks like the grille needs some paint work to be as original.

That crossram air cleaner lid looks odd too with an indentation in the center for a 3rd stud or something. This car had the rear disc brakes I thought and it looks like you can see a proportioning valve in that engine picture. What a great historical picture.

Looks like the prop rod on my dad's '61 Corvette....

Speaking of old photos...I wish I had taken more copies of the negatives in the Petersen archives when I worked there...talk about muscle car Gold...all the photos EVER taken of ANY story in ANY of the Petersen mags (Car Craft, Hot Rod, Super Stock, etc) are stored away in the basement of the Petersen building in LA. If there were 10 photos published in a story, 50-100 photos were often shot in total...and they're all sitting down there. I wonder if Petersen ever considered how much money is potentially there if they sold prints of those pics. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif[/img]
Sorry to be so off topic, just jogged my memory!
