Re-cored the rad in my 1951 Packard 200 one year ago. Using the original tanks the cost was just under $900.00 US. but now on long drives and hot weather occasions the temp is always below the middle of the temp gauge and, to me, the cost is a good trade off for the peace of mind. Additionally, I did remove the water tube and flush the engine and my water pump rebuilt locally.

Just on the general topic of auto radiators, my local club went last night to visit one of the very last of the radiator repair shops in the area. Twenty-five or so years ago there were probably 20 such shops within a 20 mile radius, now just one as radiators have become replacement items, no longer practical to repair...
