We're all wearing masks now, haven't you heard? OK OK OK, looks like a radiator cover - often used in very cold areas to help the car reach its operating temperature quicker. |

I saw it in many DDR movies and also in private photos from that time. There is even another vehicle in that movie: /vehicle_1453516-IFA-S-4000-1.html -- Last edit: 2020-12-02 21:47:32 |

I have done it with my 1972 SAAB 99 by inserting corrugated fiberboard cardboard between radiator and air conditioning radiator many moons ago |

Back in the 50s you bought a device like a roller blind which fitted in front of the radiator, and could be altered on the move with a piece of cord. These days we have thermostats in the top hose. -- Last edit: 2020-12-02 22:31:51 |
