It seems you are getting a wide spectrum of answers which surprises me. I have a 1936 F-12, gas only and it does not have a temperature gauge nor have the holes in the front of the radiator been tapped for threads which indicates to me that it never had shutters either. Though seemingly from what Bob Kerr wrote the holes would not need to have been tapped out in order to accomodate the roll up canvas which if it ever had one has long since vanished. In flipping through my old parts catalog I do see a temp gauge listed after which the bracketed words "kerosene special" follow. So evidentily a gas only such as mine would not neccessarily have come with one.
In place of where everyone seems to feel the sensing bulb for the gauge would screw in the lower radiator elbow. I have a very fancy brass petcock to drain it that looks to be very old and which I have always assumed to be original. I recall when I first began to restore it the petcock was frozen open. I lavished much time with liquid wrench and small amounts of heat and gentle force to free it up and not destroy its seal. I was successful, shined it up and gave it a clear coat of laquer. For some reason I have always found it to be a rather attractive feature and it always catches my eye.
I would be very interested if anyone knows where I could obtain a screen that one would have bolted on to the front of the radiator to protect the cooling fins and/or a roll up canvas, either in good condition or a reproduction.
