New 60 caddy (questions for expert caddy owners).

[aliixer]

I recently purchased a 1960 cadillac coupe deville and its needs a little work.

1. I am looking for a radiator (aftermarket aluminum that resembles the factory unit).

2. do non-A/C  1960 cadillac coupes come with a fan shroud?

3. where would I source parts for this car?

Thank you all for any assistance.

Strongly suggest you look at the NEW Huge List of Cadillac Parts Vendors compiled by "Otto Skorzeny" ---- 4th subject down from the top at this Discussion forum.  You will find a wealth of vendors there, some/many of whom support Cadillacs of your vintage.  USA Parts Supply --- www.usapartssupply.com has a Cadillac catalog you will find helpful.  Rock Auto --- www.rockauto.com is good.
  
Also suggest you just Google something you need, I Googled "1960 Cadillac radiator" just now and this came up ----

I had a '60 coupe a few years back and loved it.  Good luck!

One more very important item.  A must have --- get yourself the 1959 Cadillac Shop Manual and the separate 1960 Supplement, don't bother with manuals other than GM's.  eBay Motors is a good place to find them, you can buy originals, reproductions, and CD versions.  My suggestion is to look for originals because the picture quality is often better but many reprints are good.  I prefer the paper versions over the CDs because you can keep the manual at your side in the shop rather having to run to the computer to look something up on the CD everytime you have a question.
Here are some on eBay Motors right now ----

do non-A/C  1960 cadillac coupes come with a fan shroud?

No.  A non-A/C car will have the standard 4-blade fan while an A/C car has a 7-blade fan with shroud
and the radiator is located in front of the core support to allow space for the shroud.  

Can be retrofitted but you will need the shroud, 7-blade fan and good time to do this is if you are having a new radiator manufactured since the hose connections are slightly different.  

Fins did it to his 59 Sedan deVille a few years back.  He should be able to recommend the radiator supplier that he used.

Oh yeah, don't miss the MCLC Documents section.  There's a lot of info there for 1960 Cadillacs.
