Not all cars do (eg electric cars). However if the car is powered by a combustion engine then the engine produces heat and this heat must be dissipated or the engine will overheat and cease. This is why combustion engine powered vehicles need a cooling system/radiator.

Why does a car needs a radiator to operate?
It cools down the lubricant. and lubricates the engine piston to stop it from snapping.
What is the best way to unblock the heater in a 1989 Pontiac Bonneville?
== == The car is about 16 years old, it needs a complete rad and heater core flush, to get the junk out of it, and make the system operate better, and more effectively. A professional radiator shop can do that for you.

Why a car needs a radiator to operate effectively?
The process of the engine creates huge amounts of heat. Water is past through the engine block (that is where the cylinders are ) where it collects heat from the case body of the engine block and its taken to the radiator where air is passed through the radiator cooling the water. The cycle continues. If the water did not circulate then the engine would expand considerably, the cylinders will also then expand as would the moving parts to the point where the friction would cause the engine to cease up.
How do you know if your car needs a new thermostat?
If your radiator isnt leaking and car is having a over heating problem and coolant spewing out. Chances are your thermostat needs replaced. possible the radiator needs to be flushed. But more likley its thermostat
Why does a radiator make a car work more effectively?
A radiator is a part of a typical cooling system that transfers heat away from the engine.

What time of the year should you add the antifreeze to a car radiator?
Whenever it needs it.
Have a small hole in radiator is it worth repairing?
It sure is. Leaking radiator fluid only causes the coolant system to de-pressurize and not effectively cooling all the internal working engine parts. As to repair costs, one needs to evaluate the cost of repairs vs replacing the radiator. If the car is older, then replacing the radiator might be the way to go.
Why does a car need a radiator?
Yes, a car needs a radiator to run because it stores the coolant for the engine and dispenses it when needed. So, if it didn't have one the car would overheat and not be able to move :)
What can be used to stop car radiator from leaking?
The radiator will need to be replaced. Sometimes, it may seem that the radiator itself is leaking but it could be the radiator "hose" that is leaking. In this case, the radiator hose needs to be replaced and clamped tightly.
could a crack in my auto radiator cause my car to overheat?
You need to go get your car looked at by an auto repairman if you have a crack in your auto radiator. They can tell you if it needs replaced or just fixed.
