I am writing an illustrated history of automotive factory air conditioning.
I am completing Volume 1: 1940-1942 Chrysler, Imperial and DeSoto. 1940-1942 Packard and 1941 Cadillac. It also covers the re-introduced factory air for 1953 Chrysler, Imperial, DeSoto, Dodge, Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Lincoln and Packard.
Volume 2 will cover factory air conditioned 1954-1960 Chrysler, Imperial, DeSoto, Dodge, Plymouth and Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Chevrolet, plus Lincoln, Continental, Mercury, Edsel and Ford.
I search for good condition factory air conditioned cars by owners who would like to spotlight their car in the respective chapter. The background of each car and its images support the AC literature published for that marque.
Do you own such a factory air conditioned car or know of someone who does? I welcome such information.
Thank you,

Location: Lower Mainland BC | Allen: I hope you get better photos than the ones I sent you. For example, if somebody with factory Airtemp A/C could post a focussed close-up photo of the data plate on the evaporator, it would probably help you. The only ones that I could find were like this one from the Hemmings 56 Imperial advert, that even when it is blown up, it still can NOT be properly read.
