The car needs a complete cooling system service and block cleaning to remove dirt before a new radiator is installed.
As well, the engine should be evaluated for compression and vacuum.

Prior to 1933 Packard was using cellular radiators. I wouldn't put tubed radiators into cars with cellular. Except I think the 32 V-12 used a tubed radiator.

As for the shutter system, if it sticks closed the car will overheat like a mother @#$%&*.
