55 owners eyes only

[Roy B.]

Not all but many original 55 Radiators I've seen like my 55 Corvette beside the date tag also had this little tag V soldered on too. May to help line people tell a 54 from a 55 Corvette??

I'm not a C1 guy(yet)so I can't comment on yours, but my 69 has a tag to the same effect. Sorry for the poor pic but if you look between the overflow tube and the transmission cooler fitting you will see a small tag with a [backwards 5,H,backwards 5].


Not sure what it's for either but I'll bet that they both serve the same purpose even though they are 14 years apart.

Thanks! So many things are not known or written about , then you wonder why so many worry about over spraying paint marks

Roy, Other than the tag, is there any difference between a '54 and a '55 radiator? Are the reproduction radiators accurate or clearly wrong? Thanks,

Re: 55 owners eyes only

Significant differences exist between a 54 and a 55 radiator. 54 has different hose outlet/inlet sizes, and a fitting for a hose to go to an expansion tank. 55 through early 60 copper radiators are configured the same.
