I don't think that 1951 is
correct.
I was at a car show couple of years ago, and
they had a 1947 Chrysler Imperial there with AC that was original. The owner
claimed that it worked up to two years ago, and it was a factor installed item.
I remember seeing the AC under the hood, and it was huge. The compressor looked
like something from kitchen refrigerator.

A friend of mine asked me what model year air conditioners were first
offered as an option in Imperials; taking a quick look through the Standard
Catalogue, it appeared to me that they were first offered for the 1951
Imperials; however, the text for that model year did not make note of the fact
that this particular option was being offered for the very first time, and
that struck me as a little odd; can anyone out there answer my friend's
question? Thanks.
