I currently have a new Broan which doesnt pull out any air/smells from the kitchen and the plastic louvers on the outside of the fan flap all winter long and sometimes coming flying off

I've never heard of that; the few I've installed were all metal. But to answer your question, I doubt you'll be able to find one of those wall fans. They were terribly inefficient and allowed a lot of air leakage.
