I recently made an interesting find in my barn. It is a "Winterfront" made
by Pine Manufacturing Co. This mounted over the front of a flat front
radiator typical in the early 1930's. I don't know if it is model specific. In
any case, it has a row of louvers which are thermostatically opened by a
thermostat as the engine warms up. It must have been a popular item, I Googled
it and came up with a picture of a rather large factory. The text notes
that they lost popularity after alcohol was replaced by "permanent
antifreeze".
