Re: Fan came apart!!
Very similar happened to my '34 a few years ago while I was driving home from seeing a true '32 survivor V8 tudor (still trying to get the guy to sell....). Radiator core was destroyed and the right side lower hood panel had a large hole. I took advantage of the situation and had the radiator re-cored, sent the water pumps to Skip Haney, cleaned out the water passages in the block, cleaned the points in the distributor, etc. You cannot tell that it ever happened now. Bonus - the car ran at about 195 F or so here in Texas on a hot summer day before. Now it runs 5 - 10 degrees cooler, even in 100F/40C weather.
Very good idea as suggested above to look over fan closely once in a while.
