As Mark Dent mentioned, my '68 didn't have a secondary hood latch either,
it used to pop up all the time while I was driving.
Being a young teenage dude, I finally got used to it and continued driving.
It used to lay flat until around 80 or so, then it'd lift up a few inches.
It never lifted more than a foot, even at HI speeds. I guess it became a
dumb hat trick for friends, I wouldn't mention it and then could always get
an alarmed reaction from the passenger.
I wonder if it got "pulled up" into a low pressure pocket that developed
over the car, and if any "push" happened from under hood air?...
