Today, scoops are often a design trick used to imply speed and performance. In some cases, their only function is cosmetic. Originally, though, scoops had a simple purpose: to help get air in or out of the car.

Oh, please.....don't forgot the Big Healey!
The first one looks like an old swamp cooler. Wonder if it's more effecient if you add ice.
That is not an air scoop on the Cunningham ! It's a oil cooler.
Looks like it might be a re-purposed aircraft honeycomb style oil cooler.
