Hi weatherspot,
I grant you that you would not have direct control over the air flow. Most of the time that I am driving in traffic the last thing on my mind is to watch another gauge.

I am not so sure that this idea would not provide much of what the original poster wants, the grill would be nearly wide open at low speeds where air flow is minimal and relatively closed at higher speed when there is ample air flow. I am going to try it on my big van along with various other things.
