Default Hood popping up while driving, 62 Cat.

My 62 Safari wagon has the bad habit of the hood popping up while going down the road. Not often, but its happened twice, and I feel like its only a matter of time until it happens when Im going fast enough for it to get away from me before I can slow down and fix it.

Ive never experienced this, do old car hood latches get worn out? Is there an adjustment I should look at?

When it latches down I cant pull it up by hand, but hit a bump just right (it doesn't always have to be hard) and it will pop up sometimes.
