Model A’s, as we know, were not built or designed for thermostats.

Back in the day they would just block some of the radiator to raise the temperature.

Some owners really like to run a thermostat. That’s OK, it’s their car.

Just keep in mind that for 90 years now. Most Model A’s have been running fine without one.

For 60 years I have not used one. Never a problem, even in up-state New
York.
