Classic/Antique Car Repair: 1951 Pontiac Radiator question, hemmings motor news, pontiac chieftain


Question
We are looking to buy a radiator for our 1951 Pontiac Chieftain with a Straight 8.
I have sent out alot of e-mails to find one but was wondering if you may have a source.
We prefer a new or rebuilt one but the year of our car is throwing up roadblocks!
Thanks for any help you may have to give!  And if anyone else has bought an older radiator, please let me know where.

Answer
I have been been fortunate in that our local radiator guy is a fellow street rodder and he will recore just about anything. Than said latch onto a copy of Hemmings Motor News, the old car classified bible. www.hemmings.com. There are at least a dozen ads in there for radiators and radiator shops. Engines are too expensive and i never play with used radiators, always new or recored.
