The following is a summary changes made to the Model T Radiator. The data on this page was compiled by the Model T Ford Club International Inc. No pictures are available at this time, but we hope to be able to add these in the future.

From 1909 until 1916 all Model Ts used polished brass Radiators (These cars are often refered to as "Brass Era Cars" by modern collectors).

In 1917, a steel radiator shell was added which was painted black. "Black Era" (1917 - 1925) cars made up the majority of the Model T's Production. Late in 1925 a nickel plated shell was introduced as an option. It Became standard on closed cars, and optional on all others in 1926. The nickel shell became standard on all cars in 1927.
