Re: [Chrysler300] a/c

Hi Terry,

Regarding Gil Cunningham's documentation I would have to review my copy to 
verify the count and the currently known existing examples.  What I can tell 
you is that more than once people have stated their car is one of the few 
factory built cars with A/C and there has been no documentation to support 
such.

On to your second paragraph about the wagon A/C I would offer that I've 
heard a story of something like this before.  My question to you is was the 
large unit that in sedans of this era which was mounted behind the rear seat 
in the trunk mounted on the roof?  If so it much have been a real site to 
behold.  Last question is where was the vent to cool the interior located?
