Cold Case Radiators Distributor for Classic Chevrolet Cooling
H&H Classic Parts is proud to be an authorized distributor of Cold Case Radiators, bringing you premium aluminum performance radiators designed specifically for classic Chevrolet vehicles from the 1950s through the 1980s. Founded in 2014, Cold Case Radiators emerged from over 30 years of classic car market experience through parent company Max Performance Inc, ensuring every radiator combines cutting-edge cooling technology with authentic OEM fitment for your vintage Chevrolet restoration or high-performance build.
Superior Cooling Technology That Outperforms the Competition
Cold Case manufactures aluminum performance radiators featuring a big 2-row core design with 1.25-inch tubes, representing the industry's best cooling capacity. Unlike inferior radiators claiming multiple rows with narrow tubes, Cold Case's oversized tube design provides approximately 40 percent higher coolant volume, ensuring maximum heat dissipation even under extreme conditions. Every model features correct OEM fitment with original-style stamped and polished tanks, delivering authentic appearance without sacrificing modern performance.
The engineering advantage is clear: Cold Case radiators hold 2.25 gallons compared to 1.5 gallons in comparable competitors, providing superior cooling capacity for big block engines, air conditioning systems, and high-performance applications. The extensive research and development team ensures drop-in installation ready to perform in the toughest conditions with every purchase, eliminating modifications and guesswork during installation.
Premium Construction and Lifetime Warranty
All Cold Case radiators are 100 percent TIG welded aluminum, ensuring exceptional strength, leak-free performance, and decades of reliable service. Stamped tanks feature welds on the inside rather than outside for a clean appearance, maintaining authentic aesthetics crucial for show-quality restorations. Aluminum construction makes Cold Case radiators 42.7 percent lighter than copper-brass equivalents while featuring 30 percent more material thickness than cheaper alternatives, providing optimal strength-to-weight ratio for vintage vehicles.
Cold Case products carry a limited lifetime warranty, demonstrating the manufacturer's confidence in their engineering and construction quality. This warranty protection, combined with H&H Classic Parts' expert customer support, ensures your cooling system investment delivers reliable performance for the life of your classic Chevrolet.

Advanced Cooling Features and Performance Advantages
Cold Case radiators feature 16 fins per inch corrugated cores that cool better than 3 or 4-row equivalents, maximizing surface area for efficient heat transfer. The dual-flow and tri-flow designs distribute coolant more evenly throughout the core, eliminating hot and cold spots that reduce cooling efficiency in traditional single-pass radiators.
Cold Case cores take up the entire width of tanks, leaving no space for inefficiencies and providing maximum cooling possible. This attention to detail ensures every square inch of radiator surface contributes to heat dissipation, critical for vehicles operating in hot climates, stop-and-go traffic, or high-performance driving conditions.
Complete Cooling Solutions Available
Beyond standalone radiators, H&H Classic Parts offers complete Cold Case cooling packages including:
Radiators with Electric Fans: Single and dual fan configurations with high-CFM output for optimal airflow, ideal for vehicles without mechanical fan clearance or seeking improved cooling efficiency.
Radiators with Dual Electric Fans: Complete bolt-on solutions with shrouds, wiring harnesses, and temperature-controlled relays for hands-free operation and maximum cooling capacity.
Aluminum Radiator Core Support Kits: Comprehensive packages for Tri-Five Chevrolet models including radiator, mounting brackets, hardware, and structural support for superior fitment and durability. Available for standard applications and LS engine swaps, with and without air conditioning provisions.
Accessories and Components: Billet aluminum radiator caps, silicone radiator hose kits, mounting insulators, electric fan wiring kits, and thermal switches to complement your Cold Case radiator installation.
Perfect Fit Guaranteed - No Modifications Required
Cold Case doesn't cut corners or cross over year ranges if dimensions are close - if they list it, it's a perfect fit with no modifications. This commitment to precision engineering means your radiator installs using factory mounting points, original brackets, and OEM-style connections without cutting, drilling, or fabricating custom mounts.
Each radiator is designed using CAD modeling and verified through physical test fitting in actual vehicles, ensuring every tank inlet, outlet, and transmission cooler connection aligns perfectly with factory hoses and fittings. This dedication to authentic fitment makes Cold Case the preferred choice for restoration purists who demand period-correct appearance with modern cooling performance.
