You could try taking out the six screws that hold the grill in then remove the grill. At that point you could reach up with a rod and try to manually release the latch. If that doesn't work then a body shop would probably know what to do.

How do you open the hood to a 1989 Chevy Celebrity when the hood cable is broken?

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.
