That's the first time I have seen that on an A. I wonder who the manufacturer was.

There are several shown in “Those Wonderful Unauthorized Accessories” book.

A friend and I have a couple of those.One is a Pines,and the other is a Perfex.I just don't remember who has which,they are tucked away in the sheds.I think on one of them you would have to drill 4 holes in the shell to mount it.

The radiator shutter on that Ford Model A was called the "Moto-Gard" and was manufactured by the Brewer-Titchener Corporation, Cortland, NY (note the "Moto-Gard" name plate on the top center of the shutter area.)

Here is an era magazine advertisement for that "Moto-Gard" radiator shutter:

I hd a Pines water front on my 1928 PierceArrowseries 36 made out of German silver.It did a good job of controlling the engine temp in the winter.
