ABSTRACT:
A vehicle with hood latch and release assembly having an abutment post on each side of the vehicle chassis and having a release member movable adjacent to the posts. A hood is pivotal up and down on the vehicle chassis and carries two latch members in the form of two cams which are pivotally mounted on the hood and are spring-urged thereon for engagement with each of the posts to hold the hood in the down position. A rubber cushion is disposed above each abutment post in the down positions, for cushioning the hood downwardly on the post and thus on the chassis. The release member extends across the vehicle and has a handle or grip portion on each end thereof so that the release member can be acutated from either side of the vehicle for releasing the latch and permitting the hood to be pivoted upwardly. The latch members are spring-urged to their securing position to hold the hood down, and there are angled guide-surfaces which permit lateral deviation of the hood but final lateral guidance thereof.
