Gary, I looked at my 62 New Yorker ( un-restored w/ 73K miles) last night. The " hard " side faces the engine. The other side that contacts the hood is fibrous and looks like the insulation used in my house. I don't know if your G had the same hood pad as my 62, but I am sure that mine is the original one from the factory.

I thought the fabric side faced the engine and Steve thinks the hard side faces the engine. I have no picture references other than the archive shots of a 300g engine compartment. It looks like the fuzzy side is out. I can see arguments for both ways. Comments appreciated. Gary Eidson (High 78 and partly cloudy) Ps. We both attended the annual AACA Club Naples (FL) Depot Show yesterday. It is more 300 viewing than the show has had in a long time. The quality of cars outstanding. The Collier Collection brought three cars including an original Ford GT40.
