8E45E Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Its obviously right from your own home country. It must fit a vintage Peugeot, Renault or Citroen, and I would ask your local clubs for those cars to see if they can identify it. If I am going to guess, I'm going to say Peugeot.

Craig this buick was in an old junkyard who was at the time the largest exporter of American car in France, so there was in this junkyard several American car (and it's sad to see that).that's why I do not know where this radiator is from. thank you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 The shape of the top tank with the deep lower half, and the distinctive rooftop-shaped ends say this is an American Ford radiator of the mid to late 60s. I don't know what car exactly. The wide mounting brackets are a clue. That means they did not use all of the available opening in the core support for radiator. It is probably a small cheap engine option in a bigger car, like maybe a 6 cylinder with a 3 speed manual transmission in a Galaxie, or something like that. Maybe a pickup. Pictured below is an early Falcon radiator. Note the shape of the top tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8E45E Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 If it was from a Ford, there should be at least one 'FoMoCo' or 'FORD' with the trademark oval around it. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
