Sorry that I have not responded sooner.. been very busy.. you still have the radiator cover.. and how does it hook onto the radiator and do you open the vents by hand?

[Craig Leach]

Hi David,
Yes I still have the Winter-front. I have never had it on a car. Here in the desert it never gets cold enough that a small piece of cardboard won't
do the job in the morning. It has a bimetallic spring hooked to the linkage that regulates the louver's. As for attachment I would assume it was
made to fit any car? Many accessories where. I will go out today & get it out & look closer at it.

The winterfront grill that I have seen attaches using very small diameter long narrow bolts that go right through the radiator core. They have a fiber faced washer to protect the fins from this hardware.

Winterfront grills are sort of one size fits all but they did make many that were for specific cars. So, just any old one wont fit any old car. Some even have the badge on the front made with the car brand that it is made to fit.

Pines, Irving, Globe... all made winterfronts. The irving is controlled by a push pull wire with a nickel plated handle on the dash. There is limited demand and I have seen generic ones sell for 40 dollars and really nice ones with specific car brands sell for up to 300.

I am also looking for a winter front radiator cover for a model T. Please email pictures and price.

Hi David,
Linus is correct this one is a Pines there is no model that it fits on it. It is 24" high & 16" wide so I would guess it is a universal fit.
Because of the size it will cost a little to ship so I will go with Linus on the price @ $40 + the ride. Thanks.
