I need to replace the radiator on my 1930 coupe. in reviewing posts i see that good things were said about brattons, snyders and berts. brattons and snyders were $585 for a hd radiator and berts was $795. for a in town driver is berts worth the extra? any one have opinion is bratton or snyder the same as to quality?

Check the number of rows of tubes, and more importantly the fins per inch. Shipping will also play a part.
 
I have a new Berg's Radiator and couldn't be happier for my 1930 Coupe. Alittle more expensive but you get excellent quality and dependability. Hugh

X2 - Bergs and a cleaned out block/head, have to run a thermostat to get my Truck to run at a decent temp of 160 F.
 
I have Bert's re-cored 4 row of tubes radiator. I have driven my A high in the mountains and at sea level in 95+ degree heat. My A has never gone over 180 degrees with this radiator. I love it!!!
 
I don't think you can go wrong as long as the radiator has the right number of rows and is able to cool efficiently. With that being said, most people I think go for Bergs or Brassworks.
 
I put a Bergs radiator in and could not be happier.

100 degree temps at 60 mph for a long period and I stay between 180-190. And it fit right in.
