Swing Radiator in Texas

[Curt Sprenger]

Ralph, I've seen these scoops on several units, and not just Bluebirds,
and only when a bus was traveling on the highway. The scoops you have
seen, were they nice clean rounded formed top and bottom ends, or more
home made looking in that the top/bottom did not appear to be stamped,
was perhaps welded?
