These louvres are interesting. This morning (temperature about 7C) they were open. I started the engine and they closed. I turned the engine off, locked the car and after a minute or so they slowly opened again.
I believe some classic Rolls Royces had a similar feature and less expensive cars could be equipped with leather ‘radiator muffs’ with flexible flaps that could be set in different positions by the driver.

First car was a 68 Mini. Sheet of tinfoil over the grill did something similar 🤞🏻

Minis had a side radiator of course. Where the radiator was at the front it was common to block off the bottom half with cardboard behind the grill. Simpler times...
