Description

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. The various views are not necessarily to scale to better illustrate detail. Shading is used to illustrate the curvature of the part and not color. Areas shown in or sounded by broken lines are not claimed. The surface normally visible when the Vehicle Hood is attached to a vehicle is called the “Class A” surface and is claimed. The surface not normally visible when the Vehicle Hood is attached to a vehicle is called the “Class B” surface and is not claimed. Any functional features of the Vehicle Hood are not claimed. Views are orthogonal projections unless otherwise noted.
