What car had the first hood scoop?

I'm only recalling 50's T Birds?

should make it tough and state "REAL FRESH AIR SCOOP" or "FAKE SCOOP"!!!

Packard Caribbeans from the mid 50's also.  The Dodge D-500 had a fresh air intake at the front of the hood-same era.  I'm sure it predates that but I'm drawing a blank now.
Ferrari had them from early and before the T-bird.

Im with Ghoste, I don't know but I would imagine Ferrari's would have the earliest "fresh air scoops"

We need a refined question.  Cars in the 20's and 30's had 3 or 4 piece hoods that had louvers and scoops for various reasons.

But, here's a nice site that list a few cars

And I'm having trouble placing it but I'm sure there is something even before that, something from the 30's or possibly even the 20's.  Allards had them I believe but that doesn't go far enough back.

  I think the 56 Ford H.D. (BIG) trucks had a real deal functioning scoop, but that's truck not car. (Later used on S.D. Pontiac's.)  The T Bird had a block off plate so it could be functional.    I don't want to "refine" the question and eliminate possible true "scoops" even if they were not very advantageous. (Something other that an air intake for the interior or pure decoration.)
