Guest Texas Old Car Guy Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I found this old sheetmetal item several years ago and have had it hanging in my barn - it looks like the front part of a radiator "winterfront"; it has original olive green paint on it, has lots of raised ridges along the bottom portion and there's a hole in the bottom to insert the crank handle plus an open area at the top where I presume the automobile manufacturer's logo would have appeared on the radiator.Any idea what it fits or came off of?Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave7 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 That looks like the front radiator plate off a 1928 Chevrolet. It is sandwiched between the aluminium cowl and the radiator.http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/8281/1928chevculturalmuseum2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Texas Old Car Guy Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Thanks Dave7, it does indeed look like the one in the photo you sent the link to; thankfully your photo confirms it - I looked in the American Carspotters Guide 1920-1939 under 1928 Chevrolet and it wasn't in their illustration. Do you know if it was a standard feature or was it an accessory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave7 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 This is a standard feature on all the 1928 Chevs, cars and trucks. I have recently rebuilt a '28 Chev, and it was quite a mission getting the whole radiator assembly together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
