hey there, i had the same problem, but i figured it out! and now I'm gonna help you!
grab a screw driver or something like that (thin, "pokey", and not easily broken), I used a SPOON! haha.
right under your hood in the middle in the front, well actually slightly to the right and up a little bit theres a "loop" kind of thing. you need to push it back with your spoon or whatever you are using. that will open the hood as if you pulled the "hood release" lever in the cab, then all you gotta do is reach your hand in there and grab the handle that is slightly to the left of the middle and open it all the way.

HOW DO I OPEN HOOD ON CAR WHEN CABLE IS BROKEN
lmao a 79 chevy shouldnt have a cable.... its just a hand latch in the grill..
where your latch is broken at you can use a pair of pliers and pull the exposed cable wire and it should open best thing when u open it replace the cable wire
you get the cable fixed then open it
how to open hood with a broken cable on a 1994 ford explorer
If the hood release cable on your 1989 Chevy Celebrity is broken at the inside pull handle you can simply pull the cable out a bit, then cut off the outer housing leaving the center cable. You can pull on that bit of cable and unlatch the hood. If the cable is broken at the actual hood latch you could try: The grill is held on with six screws, remove them and take the grill out. Then use a hook and reach in between the top of the radiator support bracket and the bottom of the latch mechanism and catch the lever with the hook. Pull the lever and release the latch. This may take multiple tries to get it right. Of course you want to change the cable as soon as possible, these methods become real nuisances quickly.
I go crazy everytime I have to open the hood on my 98 Chevy Astro. The guys just say "oh it's a Chevy" and they bang the hood. I have found that if I stick a butter knife unde the hood I can open it. What a pain!

my Beretta is a 94 and it hood release is broke just the silver cable show ,,, i use needle nose pliers and pull it !
There is no such thing as a Chrysler Caprice Classic. Chevy made a car called the Caprice (I had a 1969).
With a key or from the inside.
