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.
