1909-1916 Livingston V Speedster Radiator
livingston v
The Livingston V Radiator was designed for Edsel Ford's first speedster. It fits standard Model T frames and follows the same contour of the hood as a standard polished Model T radiator produced by Ford between 1909 and 1916. If you crank the motor, your crank will need an extension. We have constructed the front vertical trim to be simple and of an "art deco" design.
We have also seen the radiator advertised and produced with square cartridge by Fedder's Radiators and a chevron pattern film core. We construct the Livingston V with the round tube cores and a common header but can build with alternative core designs should you wish to commission such a build in spiral, coin on tube, or various other film or cartridge constructed cores.
We make to order. Please allow adequate time for us to build.
Build time estimates [Feb 2025]
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

We appreciate your patience as we continue to recruit and train new fabricators and manage the labor shortfall our country has been experiencing.
