A Brief History of Classic Radiators & Heaters

1957 Caddy heater core
1953 Buick needs to be recored

Two decades after creating Cap-A Radiator in Farmingdale NY, Bill Carberry formed Classic Radiators and Classic Heaters because he realized that classic car owners would come from all over the northeastern United States to have him repair their heater cores and radiators. Customers at Hershey and Carlisle swap meets explained to him that most radiator shops were unable - or unwilling - to repair antique and vintage radiators. Most of these classic car owners were willing to pay shipping in addition to the cost of repairing their cooling system parts, or bring them to him in Pennsylvania. Today, a quarter-century removed from those formative days, Classic Radiator & Classic Heaters are the most recognized and respected in the industry! Many of the classic car owners across the country, and even around the world, consider Classic the only place to get their heaters and radiators recored, repaired or replaced.
