Dear Mr. Frank: Thank you for your most recent inquiry regarding hood latch systems dated May 26, 1972.; Examination of the 1964 Chevrolet hood latch system reveals that thi system does meet the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, which was effective on January 1, 1969. While, as stated in our correspondence of February 16, 1972, we favor a system in which two complete operations are necessary, a system which employs two latches having a single operation will meet the requirements of the standard. A current review of our Office of Defects Investigation files reveals that no information relative to 1964 Chevrolet hood latching system has been added since our last communication.; Thank you for your inquiry. Sincerely, Robert L. Carter, Associate Administrator, Motor Vehicl Programs;
