Made in the USA

In this period Ford manufactured radiators at Dearborn (D), and also at Green Island G) and had three additional suppliers, Modine (MO), McCord (MC), and Long (L). Ford furnished those outside suppliers with top and bottom tanks (01A) to be fitted with cores.  1940 and early (~January 1941) had the top fill on the angled portion of the tank.  Later in 1941 in the 11A radiator they had a center filler cap. 

1939 and 1940 passenger car, regardless of model, has the filler at an angle and a split core. There will always be "91A" stamped in the top tank. Some time around March, 1940, Ford began outsourcing some of the radiator manufacturing. At that time, the "91A' was stamped in the upper tank as well as other identifying markings that indicated the supplier to Ford. The radiators manufactured by Ford had "B1" stamped in them as well as either the letter "D" (Dearborn plant) or the letter "G" (Green Island plant). Radiators supplied by Modine had "B2" stamped in them and those supplied by McCord, had "B3".

Please order accordingly.
