Radiator

I have a 1889 convertible that is in need of a radiator. Can anyone tell me where this came from?

On my 1991 I pulled the radiator and went to the local radiator rebuilder. He looked and was unable to find the exact one I had, and mine was not leaking but ready for replacement. He ended up buying a slightly larger tube size that still was able to transfer the tanks. So can't tell you what yours is out of but they are rebuildable. The new replacement ran cooler than before, so it was a good upgrade.

Depending on what’s wrong with the current radiator it should be able to be recored.  Any competent radiator shop can do it.

Thank you! There in lies the problem. Finding a competent shop. I was hoping to be able to find an aluminum replacement.
