Guest erikjensen7 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Hello, this is my first time posting to this website before and I was wondering if you guys could help me. Recently I acquired what I believe to be a Buick radiator from the 1920s, but I am not sure exactly what car it is from. If you know what car this radiator fits, I would greatly appreciate it, thanks! http://s284.photobucket.com/user/erikjensen7/library/Buick%20Radiator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Dimensions would be helpful, but it appears to be somewhere between 1916-1923. I don't have any in those years for comparison, but others will.Stay tuned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 First opinion would be for a 1922 or 1923 4 cylinder car. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tblack Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 My hunch is the same as Larry's above.Al Yes 4 cylinder 22 or 23. Attached are 3 photos 1922 model 34 McLaughlin Buick ( Red Car) 1923 Model 38 Buick (snowy Car)and a 1916 Model 35 Buick (Black Car). From my files of Buick's on to new homes!!It is a 4 cylinder because the crank hole does not go through the radiator like the 6 cylinders . The radiator is a little flatter on top like 22 and 23...earlier cars 16 through 18 had a more rounded top....4 cylinders were not made in 19 20 and 21 and the last 4 cylinder was a 24 and it had the "Packard inspired" radiator, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) A friend of mine has a 23 4cylinder and he said that it is not like his. Probably a 22. Edited February 16, 2015 by Larry Schramm (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a 22.Do you know what your friend said was different from this radiator and his 1923 radiator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest erikjensen7 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Also if anyone might know the approximate value of this kind of thing I would appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Erik, Basically, any buyer will have to have it re-cored or at least boiled out if the old core is usable. So you are really only selling the top & bottom tanks unless you have it tested and can document it is good to go on a car. The last radiator I sold went for $100 plus shipping in similar condition to yours with a guarantee that it was good or he would get his $100 returned. Last summer,I found a perfect original radiator (from a running car) for a friend who paid $200 to the hot rodder that sold it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Do you know what your friend said was different from this radiator and his 1923 radiator?I did not get into the particulars. He just said that it was different. If you need to know, I will ask him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
