1955-1960 Chevy C1 Corvette Radiator with Fan for Auto Transmissions
A slim single-fan assembly engineered for 1955-1960 C1 Corvettes with automatic transmission resolves clearance issues and lowers electrical demand while maintaining efficient coolant flow. Constructed from thick gauge aluminum and assembled in the US, the radiator resists corrosion and sheds heat quickly to support both original V8 powerplants and modern drivetrain updates. Installation is a straightforward bolt in process on the 1955-1960 Chevy Corvette chassis so you remain true to the car's vintage lines while benefiting from reliable cooling on every drive.
Optimized Single 16 inch Fan for Efficient Cooling
The integrated fan features a high-performance motor that delivers robust airflow while drawing minimal amperage, ensuring consistent temperature control during spirited drives or stop-and-go traffic. Its slim profile clears space for engine accessories, eliminating interference with pulleys and hoses. By focusing on a single fan design, this radiator reduces electrical demand compared to dual-fan setups while still moving sufficient air to prevent overheating. The result is a balanced cooling solution that maintains optimal operating temperatures without sacrificing under-hood clearance.
Thick Aluminum Core for Fast Heat Rejection
Constructed from thick gauge aluminum, the radiator core exploits the metal's natural ability to conduct and shed heat rapidly from the engine coolant. This material choice not only accelerates temperature drop after heavy use but also reduces overall front-end weight, contributing to improved steering response. The robust framework withstands pressure fluctuations and resists damage from road debris, while its corrosion-resistant properties ensure reliable performance season after season. Drivers benefit from consistent thermal management, even under demanding conditions.
Protective Bare Aluminum and Black Epoxy Coating Options
Choose between an uncoated bare aluminum finish that showcases raw machining details or a durable black epoxy layer that adds an extra barrier against moisture and grit. The epoxy coating adheres tightly to tanks and fins, guarding against corrosion in humid or salty environments, while the natural aluminum look simplifies routine cleaning. Both options preserve the radiator's structural integrity and maintain peak heat transfer efficiency, allowing you to match your engine bay aesthetic without compromising function.
American Assembly Ensuring Accurate Fitment
Each radiator is assembled in the USA under stringent quality control protocols to guarantee precise alignment with 1955-1960 C1 Corvette automatic transmission mounting points. Local manufacturing supports tighter tolerances on hose connections and bracket locations, minimizing the need for aftermarket modifications. Every unit is inspected for correct dimensions and factory-grade clearances, making installation a true bolt-in process that respects the car's original styling. This attention to detail delivers dependable cooling performance from day one.
