My 1955 Olds radiator got stolen. The manual shows a radiator with side fins that slide down the frame. The 55 does not have the transmission cooling lines. The parts manual says "Harrison" radiator. I'll gladly take an aftermarket. Does anyone know who to contact? Ive searched for 3 years. Thanks!
Welcome to the site Kim! I've got a used radiator that came with a 1954 Olds 88 parts car. I don't know if it could be run as is or would need the core rodded or even replaced. But if this is the correct one you could price it to see if it would be worth while to rebuild this one instead of purchasing an aftermarket one. I'm asking $50 plus shipping from Medford Oregon. Here's a link to the thread of radiators for sale. I'm inserting a picture of the radiator for you to review and see if its the same as your 1955 had. https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums...-shipping.html
My 1960 Olds parts book shows two different part numbers for 54 and 55 .
1954 except A/C #3131179
1955 & 56 except A/C or dual coupling trans #3134195
Thank you for sharing the numbers Charlie. This came in the trunk of a 1954 although I'd never put it in the engine compartment to see if it would bolt up. It also has the number 3130604 stamped into it, which doesn't match either of your 54 or 55 numbers. So... sorry Kim I might not be able to help you after all. John

John, The number 3130604 comes up matching 1953 all except Dyna-Flow or A/C .
I have a 4 core that came out of a 55. I don't think it leaks but it will need some work. The 4 core was used in cars with AC. I paid $100 for it and would like to get my money back out of it. I can get the number off it and some pictures next weekend.
