The Dodge Brothers Radiators
Brassworks
is pleased to offer the McCord Radiator core for Dodge, Cadillac,
Studebaker, Oakland, Hupmobile, & many other classic cars. The McCord core construction was commonly found on Dodge Bros radiators from 1914-1926.
The Dodge Brother company did not adhere to a predictable
yearly model change. Owners are encouraged to consult the
Dodge Brothers Club for guidance in selecting their core design
and provide a description and drawing of the core rather than the
year of the vehicle. The shape of the core has proven the
best means of determining the appropriate shape and type of core.
Many Dodge
Bros. cores have been restored with continuous fin honeycomb style
cores installed in place of the tube-and-fin type McCord style shown
in the drawings. The Dodge
Bros. Company did not offer a honeycomb style core off the assembly line. Brassworks
can either convert the honeycomb to a stock McCord tube-and-fin
style, or rebuild the radiator with a new honeycomb style core.
Honeycomb cores can vary widely in their design. A pencil
rubbing taken from the core helps allow us to accurately price a
new replacement.
