Looking for a nice '68 full size pontiac hood....

Looking for a nice hood for my '68 Pontiac Grand Prix as mine has the dreaded rust thru on the top skin by the vent area at the rear. Would prefer to locate one in the Maritimes for possible pick up or reasonable shipping during these covid times we're experiencing Thanks!

Jeff

I'm guessing the Grand Prix hood is the same as Bonneville / Catalina / Executive, but different than Canadian Pontiac's. This mainly revolves around the different windshield wiper patterns, and whether Canadian cars had hide-away wipers.

I got looking at some images online of a 68 Grand Prix vs 68 Grande Parisienne, and both appear to have hide-away wipers. Both appear to be the same on the edge towards the windshield. I know for 1969 the US cars had a cutout towards the windshield to clear the wipers.
