Very ahead of it's time, ducted airflow and hidden radiators are becoming commonplace now, and with manufacturing techniques they have now, a radiator can be shaped in any configuation to fit where you want to put it, back then your choices were flat and square, or flat and rectangle...now you can have an asymmetrical trapezoidal multi complex curved unit to fit where you want it to be, and with mini fans and flow modelling you can make it highly efficient.
Some of the high end sportbikes use this stuff, curved radiators hidden under the tailsection, etc...you'd never know it was there...
