A few weeks ago I posed a cooling system trivia question but it was pretty much "buried" in another post. So, I'll re-pose it here in a new thread. Actually, this should be an easy one.
Here's the background: over the years Corvettes have used radiators with integral tanks and radiators with only external tanks. Until 1991, though, very few have used cooling systems with radiators with BOTH integral and external tanks. John Hinckley pointed out that 1953-55 with 6 cylinder used a radiator with both integral and external tanks. I'd forgotten about that one since I was thinking only about V-8 applications. But, John was correct; 1953-55 with 6 cylinder was the very first use of both integral and external tanks for Corvette radiator.
In 1991, Corvette returned to using both integral and external tanks for the radiator. However, between 1955 and 1991 there was one group of Corvette applications that used both integral and external tanks for the radiator. Does anyone know what it was?
