Henry, thanks for the real world experience.
I don't know when the first thermostats appeared in the automotive world, but I do know that every car manufactured since has had a thermostat. Who am I to second-guess automotive engineers?

I can't imagine why anyone would consider running without one. If your car overheats, it has a problem. Fix the problem. To me it's like converting to 12 Volts because your 6 volt system has bad grounds.
