Hi Jim, (my name as well),

If memory of my Grandmother's 1935 Packard serves me, there should be one horizontal support rod on each side that goes between the radiator housing and the firewall. On the normally vertical sides of the hood, on the inside, there should be at least one or two "hooks" that will prop the hood open. For wider access, we just laid one half of the hood over onto the other. If you chose the latter and depending on the condition of your paint, you might want to lay a towel or some such across the unopened side.
