Re: [Chrysler300] Radiator core fins on 300D

[Keith Boonstra <kboonstra@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just had a beautiful re-core done on my C - not cheap at $575 - and 
replaced my very original "straight fin" one with a virtually identical 
new copper core.  But then that's for 1957.  In that year only one 
appears to have been used in both A/C and non-A/C cars - 1686456.

But for '58 two different numbered radiators than the '57 are shown 
depending on whether the car came with air or not. Yours is for the 
non-air application,  Maybe those other cores you saw were the 1754875 
for air cars.  And maybe someone can verify whether that one had the 
squiggly fins instead of the straight ones.
