Honey comb radiator

[Phil]

I just looked at a 28 A with a honey comb radiator. When did Henry stop using the honey comb? Thanks, Phil

Ford did not use honeycomb radiators on the Model A. There were honeycomb radiators available on the aftermarket, that must be where it came from.

Ford always used a "fin & tube" radiator, going back as far as the Model A of 1903...

Thanks guys--knew I had never seen one--thought it might have been AR. Phil

I once had a 1928 Chevy that had a honey comb radiator.Maybe it was a Chevy.

Chrysler Corp used cellular ("honeycomb") radiators into the late 1940's... and I'm pretty sure Dad's '30 Chevy has a honeycomb as well.

They are quiter a bit heavier than a fin & tube radiator of the same physical dimensions...

I had a 30-31 honeycomb A radiator last year. Traded it for nice left rear fender for the delivery at Chickashae. Both of us were very happy with the trade, so it worked out well. Rod
