Re: Cost estimates to re-core a radiator

The word you are looking for is Cellular radiator core.

For Senior Packards where cellular was standard (pre-10th series) I would stick with cellular. Cellular radiators can go bad when stored empty because metal debris swells with evaporation. So they should be stored with plugs in the hose outlets and filled with coolant.

The pre-war junior cars were rather eclectic and can have cellular or tubed within the same series.

Rolls was using cellular right up through the 1960's.
