I have a 59 crl. Just wondering if the radiator is supposed to be ****ed with more space between the pass side hood latch frame than the driver’s side. It kind of bothers me and I may correct the problem if it is a problem.

You mean "roostered"?
Probably. I know the rad in my 56 Dodge is not symmetrically mounted so I would not be surprised that a 59 Dodge rad is similar.

The engine sits not inline with the center line oft the car, it sits off center unlike the rear axle yoke, this requires a radiator that is mounted not "straight" in the engine compartment. How can anyone bothered by this? It would bother me, if the fan blades wouldn't face the radiator square.
