Yes, this is the late style radiator and I tried it in the Power Hawk
and it fits easily as the Hawks do not require the "sloped" top tank as
did the earlier c/k models.
The late radiators used a two stage top tank which according to my
radiator cores are next to impossible to get. Hence, I just had two
radiators (early) recored. One for the Power Hawk and the other for
possible use in the '55 Prez sedan (which would require a modified
radiator bracket).
