I need some help in identifying what this radiator and shell are for.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Looks like a '28-'29 Model A to me.

It is '28 or '29 Model A. There was a slight difference between the two near the hole for the hand crank.. Post on Model A forum and ask.

From looking at (and blowing-up the pic slightly), it looks to be 1928 to early 1929. The later 1929 radiator had a slightly different crank hole cover, where it was raised extended all the way to the bottom of the shell and looked a tbit more like a bell, rather than being round. Be sure to turn it around to see if it has the original fan shroud on it as well.

Also a pic of the rivit holes for the hood lacing can help narrow it down if it is a 28. Early 28's had large holes for lacing to loop through and mid to late 28's would have rivit holes. Rod

Thanks to all who responded. I will get better pictures but it sounds like it is a 28-29 Model A.

Thanks
