Default cowl vent on a 24

I just saw a 1924 coupe with a cowl vent. I thought it was 26 or 27 but this car is very original and the vent had a handle on the inside to lock it open. Was this a southern option on enclosed cars, never saw one before, Chuck.

I owned a '24 Model T coupe for over 50 years and it always had a cowl vent. I don't know in which Ford factory it was built though.

1924 and 1925 closed cars had a cowl vent, for 1926 and 1927 it was a cover for the gas tank filler not a vent.

Thanks, for the quick response, I have owned a ton of fords and never noticed the cowl vent or the bigger trunk, (no gas tank). Learn something everyday.
