Looking for a 12V small fan

I want to install a small wall-mounted fan to the bedroom cabinet and above the gaucho... any suggestions for a quality, good looking (bright chrome, vintage appearance) fan - similar to the ones your school bus driver had on their dash (but nicer!)? I attached a picture of one I found on e-bay, but I don't know if it is going to look & feel cheap in person.

Roadpro Auto Car Boat 12V Fan Dash Board Mountable Heavy Duty Metal 2 Speed Fan | eBay

Thanks.

We sailed in the hot tropics for quite a few years and we had 7 Caframo fans scattered around the boat. Caframo Fans at Defender

They are maybe not the most beautiful, but they move a lot of air for very low amps and are quiet. Never found anything nearly as good and we tried many.

cheers,
steve

I bought and just installed the fan from Vintage Trailer Supply. Works great.
