Plymouthy Adams Posted December 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 no...those holes I cut to install AC vents in the car...I am not fond of under the dash hanging units and prefer in dash vents...thre are also two vent central of the dash not seen as it is part of the radio inset panel on the left is also the location of the headlight switch and the OD override control..be just a tad differnet in looks..

Dodgeb4ya Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Oh, I thought it was a factory option like 1942 Chrysler and DeSoto's had back in the day when AC was really something to be had! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted December 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 I do not think these cars ever got factory AC of any shape form or fashion..nothing in my sales brochures mention it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plymouthy Adams Posted December 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I knew a number of early cars had AC but if you look at the install..most them unit were in the trunk as far as evaporator condenser combo I live here in the south...if it don't have AC it is not of much use to me...plus the 51 is getting all the other upgrades..no sense to shirk on the creature conforts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
