Found Old 1950's / 60's Radiator

Post by project37 »

Hi Everyone

I recently found this radiator in a collection of parts down the south coast of NSW (North Nowra). It was for a side valve v8, uses a dodge radiator shell and a ford badge on it, painted green, with white pin striping (would have been a really pretty car).

It was sold by the son of a hot rodder who died , and was in his collection a very long time(tiding up the garage).
I was hoping if there was any photos of this car around, any history, and with a lot of luck (and I mean heaps) any remains left of it.

Can anyone identify what year the Ford badge is from (and is it car or truck)??????

I would really like to bring this one back,

any parts, any clues,

Thanks Guys
