Mike and All:
Starting with 1957, air conditioning was available in the  convertibles.  
Prior to that, the AC was a unit in the luggage compartment  and would have 
interfered with the folding top well.

Many  years ago, I remember when Chip Chapman from upstate New York was 
restoring a  G convert. I recall him telling me that Chrysler didn't offer air 
because it  was a convertible, but he had discovered he could incorporate 
the factory air  from his parts car or some thing like that. My impression was 
he believed  there just wasn't  ac in converts until a year later. This was 
about 25  years ago though!

concerned it is just  hearsay unless or until it is verified that only 10% of 
all G converts built  had factory air, or a specific number of total G 
convertible production with  AC be confirmed. I would love to see an official 
confirmation of this number,  and it would have to come from Gil Cunningham, as 
he is the only verifiable  source on the question. Another bit of 
information, that would shed light on  the issue would be to know how many G converts 
are in the Club registry with  factory AC. Not sure if that is possible to 
determine, but others may know.  Gloria?

restoration of this car. As  mentioned, the wire wheels are simply not correct, but I 
would excuse that if  the car came with the original wheels and wheel 
covers-which are getting  increasingly hard to find. Notice that there is only one 
picture of the engine  compartment. Many details are not correct. No hood 
pad, no trunk lid felt  liner, no picture of Trim Code plate. Only 12 made 
with AC? I know the numbers  are low, but that sounds like a guess to me, and 
not based on factual  information. I researched this several years back and 
was not able to come up  with a definitive number. I had three G project 
cars, all had factory AC, I  doubt that I had 25% of G production with AC in my 
back yard. The body and  interior work does appear to be pretty well done 
though, but the devil is in  the details now isn't it?

items  for a car they want all the money for. Wire wheels are not and were 
never  optional on a G. The engine compartment is a mess of things wrong. Red 
heater  hoses? That shows a complete lack of research on what is correct. 
Hose clamps  are all worm style, blue ignition wires, and what is the green 
thing by the  washer bag? Two of the dash gages are also 62 style. If I had the 
money to buy  something this expensive, I would at least want everything to 
be correct. But  maybe that’s just me, maybe pretty is all that matters.
