Has anyone seen a Brass T radiator that was originally nickel plated? I will have pictures later.

Haven't seen a Ford radiator as they weren't nickel plated unless some one back then had it done.

But other replacements in the day could be had in nickel plate, or even built using German silver instead of brass sheeting!.

In the days prior to EPA you could get anything nickel plated easily and cheaply. I've seen radiators and all other trim parts of a Model T nickel plated. It was not original and it was never offered by Ford, but you see one every now and then, so the dealers certainly were doing it.
