Here's a red 1971 Mustang Boss 351 fastback. The owner closed the hood a bit due to the rain. The hood locks are up.

Hood locks were used by racers. They were lighter than the front latch. Racers would pull out the front latch and install hood locks to reduce weight. They also use to put them on the other corners by the windshield. This way the heavy hinges did not have to be used. In the case of these cars, the hood locks were used in addition to the front latch.
