[AJD] Identifing a styled A hood.

[Chris C]

   Dean,

      I am measuring the hood on the pulley side, 
with the intrument panel and grills off end of metal
to end of metal.  

      I was reading in my Model A book last night and
it mentions a lengthening of the wheel base in the
early styled A,  but has no mentions of a change in
the hood.  I was also hoping to see an example of a
gas only A from that era but they only had al fuel's
pictured.  

       I would imagine that this hood is from an early
styled gas only A,  but my parts book fails to
indentify that there was an all fuel hood and a gas
only hood.

                            Chris
