[diesel_mercedes] Remembering Air Conditioning

 

Since I am on this topic I might just as well tell you about the first car AC I remember.

It was the mid 50's and my dad decided to test drive a used Cadillac. It was almost a limo as I recall, and I want to say it was a 1952 or 1953 model.

As men did back then, the first thing my dad did was to find a country road and open the car up. I can still remember bending over the front seat to watch the needle when it topped 100.

Despite all of my begging the Cadillac did not find a home at our house. But I sure remember that cool, fast ride. The back shelf had two huge tinted air flow tubes rising up out of the trunk that pumped out the winter time air.
