The Vent for Enclosed Trailers - Aluminum - 12-1/4" Wide x 10-1/2" Tall # PLR20 will allow outside air to flow but there is no cubic foot per minute rating as that would require a fan or direct wind for a vehicle sitting still. The fan you use will dictate that and the air flow of that fan will be lower than the rating because only four 2 inch diameter holes will draw air.

I recommend the Flex-a-lite 12" Trimline Reversible Electric Radiator Fan - 12V - 1,105 CFM # FLX112 for your application.
