What you think is a thermostat housing is just a simple hose connection. You should have a thermostat in the top radiator tank that controls the radiator shutters. They control temperature by regulating the amount of airflow thru the radiator. Very common arrangement on older cars, and on Packard (some models) thru 1942. Often called a Pines Winterfront.
