I have a 1931 slant windshield Model A. I have the radiator in the attached pictures. I don't know if it's the correct radiator for my Model A. I believe this is a 1932 radiator. Did they put 1932 radiators in 1931s?

On the inside, the top is curved. Also on the inside there are two brackets on the very top. I don't know what the brackets are for.

On the front, the top jets out. Also on the front, the fins are dimpled.

The height is 22 1/4"
The width is 17 7/8"
The depth is 2"

Do you know if this is the correct radiator for my Model A? If not, what is the correct one?

You're correct in that the one pictured is for 1932 Model B - 4 cylinder. That's all I can tell you.

If anyone else is wondering, you have to click on a very, very small image to enlarge and make viewable (at least I had to).

Barnwood, where are you located? I have a good, clean used 30-31 radiator in Northwest Ohio. PM me if interested.

It is definitely a '32, 4 cylinder radiator. The top extends out into the '32 shell. The Model A shell will not fit. The water neck is also in a different location. Sell it (don't try to "fix" it) and get the correct one. Where are you located?
