Essentially the same radiator design can be found on FIAT cars as early as the 1903 16/24hp, and by the time the Tipo 54 was made in 1912, there was already a subtle change in the slant of the sides of the radiator (and the lanterns had disappeared). These changes are very noticeable if you look at the 1913 Tipo 51 ('Zero').
