The Orphans

Occasionally we find ourselves with orphan radiators. These are radiators that because of an error on our part, builder error, poor communication or random acts of God something just did not work out. Our orphans are often scooped up after shop tours by bargain hunters, local builders on a budget or eventually we’ll have a call from someone and make a match. We are being more pro-active and selling them on our orphan page.

We build to order and seeing stock makes my left arm tingle so these are discounted to move.  Prices are listed, freight is for domestic sales only  and no other discounts apply.

 

 

 

 

This radiator will fit a 1909-1916 Model T or Speedster.  It is a one of a kind radiator with the early winged script and a cast water pump box in the core.  This water pump box was found in the 1906-1908  Model N, R,& S radiators.  We thought this 1909 Model T was a very rare car to have the water pump box in the core.  So rare we asked the customer three times if they were certain this is what they wanted.

Perhaps if we had asked a fourth time another orphan would not have been born.
