Radiator with Fan for 1955-1960 C1 Corvette Auto Transmission
For enthusiasts restoring a 1955-1960 Chevy Corvette with an automatic transmission, this radiator with integrated fan solves persistent overheating on sunny roads or spirited drives. Its slim one fan design clears engine accessories and draws less amperage while moving enough air to keep coolant temperatures in check. Constructed from thick gauge aluminum and assembled in the US, it delivers corrosion resistance and fast heat rejection that support original V8 engines and modern drivetrains. With simple bolt in fitment for the C1 chassis, this fan equipped radiator ensures you can spend more time behind the wheel and less time in the garage.
Optimized Single Fan Cooling Performance
The integrated 16 inch fan creates a slim one fan package that delivers robust airflow while drawing minimal amperage, ensuring confident cooling on both sunny roads and spirited drives. By using a single fan design, this radiator maintains clearance for engine accessories and simplifies the electrical system compared to dual fan setups. The result is a balanced airflow pattern that rapidly dissipates heat from the coolant, reducing the risk of overheating under load. This approach ensures your Corvette sustains optimal operating temperatures without compromising accessory fitment.
Premium Aluminum Construction for Rapid Heat Rejection
Constructed from thick gauge aluminum, this radiator harnesses the material's natural thermal conductivity to reject heat quickly from the engine coolant. Its lightweight build reduces overall front end mass, contributing to improved handling while maintaining structural strength under pressure. The corrosion resistant core extends service life, ensuring consistent performance season after season. This combination of durability and efficiency makes it a reliable upgrade for classic V8 drivetrains.
Finish Options for Enhanced Protection and Custom Style
Choose between a classic bare aluminum finish that highlights the natural metal surface or a black epoxy coating that adds an extra barrier against environmental damage. The epoxy layer bonds tightly to tanks and fins, shielding against moisture and road debris, while the uncoated version showcases precise machining details. Both finishes provide excellent corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance, allowing you to tailor the look of your engine bay without sacrificing longevity.
American Assembly Ensuring Seamless Fitment
Proudly assembled in the USA under strict quality control standards, this radiator is built to match the precise dimensions of 1955-1960 C1 Corvette chassis with automatic transmission. Local manufacturing enables tighter tolerances and verified hose alignment, minimizing the need for modifications. Each unit undergoes inspection to confirm reliable mounting and clear factory spacing, so installation is straightforward and dependable. The result is a drop in solution that preserves original styling and delivers consistent cooling performance on every drive.
