Would anybody have any information about the 1937 Greyhound hood handle where it was made, etc for sale on the swap meet forum, apparently there was only 200 made. Just curious.

There was a good article in the EFV8 Club's 'V8 Times' magazine on this and other similar Grayhound accessory hood opening handles. I'm guessing it was around 2006 +/- a year. Their Roster would list details on finding that article. The one I have looks just like the one for sale in the swap section except it has an amber colored insert in the enclosed body section of the dog. I could post some pictures here if there is any interest in seeing them.

JM I belong to the Early Ford V8 Club and receive the V8 times I will check on that.
It would be interested to see a picture of your 1937 Greyhound handle.

I have just checked the Ford V8 Times and in the July/Aug 2000 issue there is a good article about the 1937 Ford hood handles, there was 23 different types of hood handles made for 1937 Fords including Greyhound ones.
