Probably more likely because the USA has a reasonably warm climate
throughout much of it.
Esp CA which accounted for a whole lot of vehicles sold.
Not needed there, so the poor folks who lived in places like Chicago
were ignored.

Long ago and far away in Europe, UK especially, flaps, blinds, mobile louvers
and cardboard behind the grill, were common on cars.
Fancier cars got more sophisticated devices, of course.
Rolls Royce had the vertical slats in the grill moved by a thermo-bulb in the
radiator header tank, for instance.
Saab 96's, and others, had a roller blind in front of the radiator, controlled
by a chain from the drivers seat.
