To open the hood on an Oldsmobile in the 50's with a broken hood latch cable simply insert a screwdriver (preferably a phillips because it is usually more slender) into the hole that is just below the point where the cable attaches to the latch it self. To access the hole reach under the grill bar and just behind and above the grill bar on the shroud that goes between the radiator and the grill bar. The hole will let you use the screwdriver to activate the hood latch. It takes a bit of feeling around to find the hole.
