Ethylene glycol began being used in automotive applications in 1926,Ford recommended alcohol in the A.Ethylene glycol became the standard of industry in WW2..

Alcohol,'what Henry used' is corrosive and tends to evaporate,modern ethylene glycol based coolants inhibit corrosion and rust and provide a superior conductor medium than straight water.

This is one area (there are a few,like mechanical advance distributors) that were concrete improvements over 'what Henry used' in fact other than slight technical improvements Ford engineering kept their discovered advancements with A production and field observations to introduce with the model B engine..
