Stranded in the 31
I was out for a drive in my 31AA to get some more stuff for my roof when I heared a load bang thud !!!!
Pulled over and found this
A 3"hole/ gouge 2" deep in my radiator and all my antifreeze pumping out!
If it wasn't for bad luck I'd have none at all!!!

It does look like a dusting of paint had masked some problems with that fan. Look at the other blades. I would SWAG it has had a failure coming for a while. Everyone closely inspect their brake lines for rust? Especially behind clamps? No, not AAs.
I had a friend, back in high school days. '49 Mercury had a vibration. He was leaning under the hood revving the engine when the blade let go. He was very lucky.

In this case, look at the rust that was hidden by paint. And in 80 plus years and unknown miles, how many times has that fan maybe been "adjusted?"
