Bob,

Yes... they do exist and I have one installed on my car. I got it
on Ebay 18 months ago.  It was shipped on cars imported into hot
climates like out southeast and southwest.

It's a great original cure for the hideous 4-blade stock fan
which is almost impossible to balance because of the asymmetrical
"X" position of the blades.  And the 4-blade fan must weight 8-9
pounds.

The 6-blade fan is lighter and has a smaller diameter and is
easily balanced using the TR balance parts and bicycle wheel
balancer or similar tool.

My engine winds up smoothly to 5000 RPM now without I any hint of
the roughness and vibration that started above 3800 RPM with the
4-blade fan.
