McCord Radiator
RADIATOR BAFFLE and SEAL
Radiator, Baffle, and Seal
It appears that two different radiators were used for cars produced in South Bend and Los
Angeles. The South Bend cars sported a McCord radiator while the Los Angeles built cars used
radiators manufactured by Modine. The radiator and the fan shroud are painted black.
The seal on the radiator baffle is mounted on the front of the baffle. The baffle, as well as the
radiator, should be painted black.
The heavy duty staples go in from the front side, through the seal, and then through the baffle.
There is also a rubber seal along the bottom
edge of the baffle, but doesn’t seem to be on all
models.
