Upper Fan Shroud for a C1

[Garry E.]

Can anyone help me identify the correct year Corvette this upper fan shroud fits......? The top part measures ~6 1/2" wide..... however, when attached in place, the angle of the top part is such that it covers the Harrison radiator tag - meaning, that the tag has to be read from underneath the shroud - not from above.... The shroud "fits" all the bolt holes on my '57, but it is not correct for the car.

The shroud is not from a '56 or a '57 (the angle of the top pieces on these is much greater...), nor is it from a '62 (completely different item.....). The shroud is original and has the "keystone" vendor stamp on the lower edges on both sides.

I've been through Noland Adam's book and can't find anything that looks like this unit......

Does anyone recognize this....?

It appears that it may fit a 58 or a 59. If it doesn't have the Keystone markings, it's probably a re-pop

Looks like 58/59 to me. Should be a little hole on top too and the keystone stamps on the bottom legs

I'm sure this is an original..... the keystone stamps (original...) are on both sides of the lower legs....

I believe it is a 56 to 59 due to the radiator hose cutout on the left (drivers) side top.

Judging Guide says it should have 3 holes (for bolts to the radiator) on each side, not 2 ("some reproductions have only 2 holes")
