New radiator installed on 48 DeSoto

[MarcDeSoto]

I got my new NOS still in the box radiator yesterday.  It's an aftermarket radiator that was sold or stocked by Montgomery Ward in Denver, CO.  I was sent in the original box, that is certain.  Check out the old style printing on the box.  This could have been boxed in the very late 40s or 50s judging from the age shown on the box.  We heard something metallic rolling around in the top tank, so we got it out, and it was a piece of solder.  We gave it a flow test and it passed superbly as you would expect from a new old stock radiator.  We installed it and that's another step toward getting this engine started.
