Re: IML: anyone ever used dry ice to cool your Imperial?

Hola Hugh

 

Even though it is said that MoPar/Chrysler started A/C in vehicles, the line was short at first due to the cost.  That is why the passenger door mounted "swamp cooler" lived on until the mid 70's as an new item in the box item.

 

I have one that I searched almost five years for.  I now move it from an 47 De Soto "Custom" S-11, to an 1970 short wheel base Dodge W100 ( Power Wagon ) "Custom" Truck or an 1978 Dodge D150.  Since I have the Le Baron's, the A/C equipted car is an givin.

 

Think of this.  An dual rear part of an A/C unit mounted in your trunk ( as it would have been in yester-year ) and the cooler's and etc mounted up front.  The mounts for this will be needed to be fab'ed and the A/C can be controlled from the dash using the OEM switches of an dual air car.  Add wiring to make the electric's work and after the unit is in place take the car to an shop for the hoses to be made and routed to the front parts and the rear part.

Subject: IML: anyone ever used dry ice to cool your Imperial?

I just heard that it may once have been popular to cool your car with a dry
ice tube of some sort.  If anyone has ever used this technique or could
point me in the direction of more information, I would appreciate it.  I
dare say there are quite a few people out there with an earlier Imperial
that doesn't have A/C so it may be relevant to the list but reply to me
directly if there is a danger of starting a seriously non- Imperial related
thread.

Thanks, Hugh
