Oh, I hope you are not considering putting a recovery tank on a Dearborn car! Your car has a built-in expansion tank above the radiator core. A second, redundant expansion/recovery tank serves no purpose. Won’t help cooling.

One way to avoid having the cooling system push out coolant is to not overfill the radiator. When I drove my 1940 Deluxe across the country, I learned to keep the coolant level just about one inch above the core.

As carcrazy stated. One inch above the core on my '46 Coupe, 180 stats, and no overflow happening.

Thanks Ken and all the others. My trip back to Virginia from the Dearborn was withoiy incident except for the loss of coolent which led to elivated temperature. Not dangerous but higher than I prefered. I had to add coolent half way home. I'm going to add thermostats and see if that helps before I put in a recovery system. The Dearborn show was more than excellent. Thanks to the club a d see you in New York They are only original once
