From my point of view thermostats are a must have item for all year driving.. I think 160's are ok but 180's are better.. When you calculate the wind chill factor on a cold winter day the coolant in the radiator can freeze. I have had that happen, could not figure out why the heater was blowing cold air. It took me awhile to wake up to what was going on. I have a silver colored cloth type of winter front for my '36 that clips onto the grille. Pretty handy, it can be folded up and stored in the trunk..
