Description

1 parts
›FIG. 1 is left side perspective view of…

FIG. 1 is left side perspective view of a vehicle hood;

FIG. 2 is right side perspective view of the vehicle hood;

FIG. 3 is a front elevational view of the vehicle hood;

FIG. 4 is a left side elevational view of the vehicle hood;

FIG. 5 is a right side elevational view of the vehicle hood;

FIG. 6 is a top plan view of the vehicle hood;

FIG. 7 is a bottom plan view of the vehicle hood; and,

FIG. 8 is a rear elevational view of the vehicle hood.

The vehicle hood is styled independently of adjacent vehicle panels. To the extent that any feature lines are illustrated, they are intended to illustrate the crest and valley of the feature and are not necessarily sharp bends in the part. Shading is used to illustrate the curvature of the part and not color. Areas shown in or sounded by broken lines are not claimed. Any functional features of the vehicle hood are not claimed. Views are orthogonal projections unless otherwise noted. The various views are not necessarily to scale in order to better illustrate the design. The vehicle hood is normally attached to a structural support frame. The frame is not illustrated nor a part of this invention.
