Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday, I currently own a 1951 Chevy Styleline Deluxe, almost all original, with the exception of an unattractive aluminum aftermarket radiator. I would like to replace it with a quality unit that looks as original as possible. Thought about a used unit and having it cleaned, rebuilt etc. but figured that would probably be more money than a quality new unit. Any suggestions for a good replacement or any feedback on US Radiator in Arkansas? They seem like they have something pretty close to original looking. Thanks!

@tomp Tom, I don't know anything about the shop in Arkansas but if you want to look into a used radiator, try these guys in Missouri. Schollmeyers 573-763-5352

Thanks Mike ! I’ll keep them in mind!
I have a US Radiator in my ‘54 210. It works fine and fits well. It certainly looks better than most of the aluminum options. They sure are getting expensive though.
@drtyler Thanks! Just the type of feedback I am looking for. Do you have the original engine in the car, and did you get the original option for cooling, or the optional upgrades?
Tom
Yes, the 235 is the original engine. I did buy the radiator with improved cooling core; however, I have not seen a difference in coolant temps during summer months. I think either original core or the improved core are fine.
