VINTAGE, CLASSIC AND ANTIQUE RADIATORS


Radiators for vintage, classic and antique automobiles not only provide critical engine cooling, they offer much more. These radiators are distinctive, precious and valuable works of art.


The repair, service and restoration of these radiators should only be performed by experienced craftsmen familiar with the unique characteristics of each model.


Founded in 1923, Santa Monica Radiator, has the experience, tools, technology, service manuals and capabilities to service, repair and restore any radiator. The repair and restoration techniques of our founder, William Perliter, used from the 1920's to the 1960's were passed on to his son, Harold, and grandson, Chuck. Many of his tools are still used in the shop today to make critical and delicate repairs.


From a simple repair on a 1965 Mustang to a complete radiator restoration for a 1937 Bugatti Type 57S, we can meet all of your radiator service and radiator restoration needs.

Anyone who drives a Ferrari or other high performance automobile knows that overheating can be a real problem. Given the power and performance of these cars, keeping the engine running cool is a science in itself.


Santa Monica Radiator has designed the most efficient radiator core available for these and other high performance vehicles. It's a simple equation, our radiators cool better and cost less than the original radiator.


Ferrari and high performance owners from Hawaii to New England have sent us their radiators for rebuilding with our new super cooling ultra high efficiency radiator cores.
