I have an 55 American Pontiac (my appologies) and the hood was destroyed ended up with a 56 Hood which I really like but it was missing the piece of chrom that goes across the front botto edge - same on American or Canadian cars but different from 55 or 57. I am looking for a real nice one. I have for sale a really nice one from my old hood it has been replated - the rest of the hood didn't fair so well.
FYI the 1956 Pontiac hood is NOT the same for American versus Canadian - the hood width at the leading edge is different. The chrome bar you are looking for is also different A versus C.

Thanks for the info I was told that while the hood is different the chrome was the same on the leading edge regardless of American or Canadian. I recently got the chrome I need off an American car and it perfectly just needs replated.
