1941 Ford 1-GA 6 cylinder Car Radiator Reproduction
1941 1GA Ford 6 cyl car
Ford produced the 1-GA 6 cylinder radiator from October 1940 until February 10, 1942 and produced 160,000 before they ceased civilian production. 2-GAs were introduced in this period but we have limited information on these. March 1942 to summer of 1945 staff cars may be title 1942, 1943, 1944 or 1945. The 5-GA which followed in 1945 is quite similar so please call if you are not certain which radiator you have.
Henry Ford famously said in 1929, "I have no use for an engine with more cylinders than a cow has teats" yet he launched the V8 in 1932 and the 6 Cylinder in Fords from 1941 to 1947 Flathead 226 GA Series (Cars) and the G Series (Trucks).

Brass/Black Model Ts
Our longstanding foundry (supplier) closed and all production was shifted to a neighboring foundry. Apparently many of the closed foundry's workers were ineligible for rehire by the new foundry due to more aggressive immigration enforcement and the union has no employees to provide. As of 2-20-25, we should receive castings in March 2025 and can resume production then.
In the interim, we have been working with our one-off foundry to have pattern boxes made and these are trickling in in smaller batches and we will produce what we can.
Model As 5-6 weeks

Tricky customs & complicated restorations ~16 weeks months
We appreciate your patience as we continue to recruit and train new fabricators and manage the labor shortfall our country has been experiencing.
