We really don't want to put an aluminum radiator in this car if we can find a reasonably priced NOS.  Please email edsel400@yahoo.com.  Thanks!

That looks pretty darn good.  We'll go that route if we can't find NOS.  I strive for as much originality as possible, but sometimes a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, especially if he enjoys driving his Hudson on a hot day.

My thoughts were the same when it was time to rebuild my 308 in the 1954 Hudson Hornet Special Coupe.  I wanted to keep it as original as possible.  I knew the modifications that I made to the engine would require something better than I had.  Talked to Dr. Doug and he recommended we recore my original.  We would save the top and bottom pan and put in a core that was one more (3 core to 4 core idea) than was stock.  Car runs great and always runs at 165.  165 is the thermostat that we installed.  I really do like the stock look.....

I was thinking the same thing as Brownie, why not recore the radiator you have.  It would be pretty much stock top and bottom.

May end up doing just that if we don't find NOS.
