Heat actuated flaps
VW beetles and most of the air cooled VWs have a small bi-metal bellows which by way of a pushrod, open the flaps under the fan shroud. I kept a spare one for years hoping to use it somewhere. That could be set up for this kind of use with a long pushrod.
BTW VW beetles have no front grille but use belted fan to cool the engine. Tell that to anyone worried about grille blocks.
