I could use some replacement upper and lower radiator hoses for my '67 Eldorado.  I see Fusick's has them for the upper in OEM style which are very nice for $40 each.  However, are any less expensive molded hoses out there?  I checked with the usual neighborhood parts houses plus Summit, JEGS, PartsGeek, eBay, Amazon and figured I better ask here.

Fusick has sold me a number of parts of good quality. Unfortunately, parts availability for our cars at reasonable cost, seem to be dwindling. I won't even address quality here. Look at NAPA first. Next check out Original Parts Group and Caddy Daddy and Summit Racing. Sometimes a universal hose if well-made can fit too. I'll be curious as to what you found.

The trouble with the Convoluted hoses is that they just don't sit right.   Okay for emergencies though.

I bought upper and lower hoses for my 67 Eldorado from Fusic about 5 years ago. I can't remember what I paid for them but they didn't fit. They looked great in the pictures on their website, markings etc.but when they arrived it was obvious the size was off. They were about 90% of the original size. Weird!! No way I could make them work.

Jeff D. - That's disappointing to say the least. 
LARS - I could go with a flexible hose but the look is just wrong.
Michael P. -  I checked Caddy Daddy and they are at $69 for the upper hose.  Fusick's is looking cheap! 

Jeff D. - Did your Fusick hose look like this? Refund available?

-Yes it looked like that. I though it was a great find.
-I'm in Canada so it was going to be hard to return the parts so I didn't bother.   

You could try D Baers Junk Yard in Washington State. Tons of old Cadillac parts.

Good luck and Happy Easter
