First off Rich Barber just sent me a copy of an email from Gill Cunningham and he has found documentation for 12 55 300's originally equipped with AC. Three of them are currently known to be in existence. I have seen a 55 or 56 wagon with AC hung over the rear window. It was a unit specifically fitted to the roof. I expected it was factory at the time but no proof of course and no idea where the car is now. I'm thinking it was a 56 Chrysler. It belonged to Al Krenzien in Norfolk Ne. He only had about 300 Chryslers and Desotos at the max and very few left when he sadly passed away a few years back. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John" <john@xxxxxxxxx> To: <chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; "LHH225" <lhh225@xxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, August 23, 2010 11:44 AM Subject: Re: [Chrysler300] a/c > Lenny, > > There were a very few C300's that were factory equipped with A/C.
