  Our 1955 C-300 starts getting hot under the collar when stuck in California
  traffic on hot days. A little research indicated there are two different
  fans available for 1955 Chryslers--four blade and six blade--both 18". The
  6-blade fan was standard on Windsors and fitted to NY's & Imps with a/c.

  Has any 1955 C-300 driver experimented with swapping out to the six-bladed
  fan to help keep things cool? Results? Opinions?

  The Service Manual indicates a/c cars had a box-type shroud and that would
  seem to be helpful for maximizing air flow at low speeds. Any thoughts on
  that?

  There does not appear to be any difference in the water pumps for a/c or non
  a/c cars, but the a/c cars had a 180 degree thermostat instead of a 160
  degree unit--this from the Parts Manual, but not confirmed in the Service
  Manual. 7# radiator cap on non-a/c cars, 14# on a/c cars.

  Finally, is there any possibility of a retrofit thermal fan clutch for these
  bankers' hot rods?

  Christmas greetings and C-300'ly,
