Hood

Hood refers to a fabric cover over the engine compartment of the car. In many motor vehicles built in the 1930s and 1940s, the resemblance to an actual hood or bonnet is clear when open and viewed head-on, in modern vehicles it continues to serve the same purpose but no longer resembles a head covering.On front-engined cars, the hood may be hinged at either the front or the rear edge, or in earlier models it may be split into two sections, one each side, each hinged along the centre line.Hoods are typically made out of the same material as the rest of the body work. This may include steel, aluminum, fiberglass or carbon fiber.
