Ahhh...more pieces to the puzzle.  i feel like a forensic scientist trying
to piece together the clues to figure out what happened during the
undocumented gaps in Albert's past.  I suspected that the radiator had been
replaced due to the substantial(and substandard) "Bondo resculpturing" on
the driver's side of the front.  Now it's clear that what you suggest is
exactly what happened; a later radiator with a reused switch from the old
one.

Good info. Thanks, Mark!
