1957 Radiator ID

[Gerry P.]

I recently replaced the radiator in my early 1957 with a new DeWitts. From what I've seen in other '57's the old radiator does not appear to be original and am posting pictures below in hopes someone can help me in identifying it. Hoping maybe that it might be correct for other year corvettes (perhaps 1956 since mine is an early build). The radiator was not leaking and fully functional when removed. If it will work for someone else's corvette (probably all 56-60's), I would rather see it be used than send it to the junk yard.

Re: 1957 Radiator ID

Gerry, I think it may be a Griffin aftermarket type. I'm pretty sure I have the same one in my '59, which has been showing signs of age. I installed it in 1999 and is has been turning fuzzy green in the lower corners for the last several years so I'm biding my time on this one.

Yours seems to look fairly new so I may be interested. I'll send you a email.

Re: 1957 Radiator ID

Thanks Rich for the help. I'm not sure the age of the radiator. It was in the car when I purchased it 10 yrs ago. The radiator shop I had check it out repainted so it looks nice. I'll look for your email.
