A convection type AC unit would be most desireable for vehicular applications since the exhaust heat or gas or oil firing could continue long after the engine shut down. Keeping the car cool while shopping in a store for maybe up to 30 minutes at least.

I am no HVAC expert by stretch of the imagination but my understanding is that refrig unit cooling effect is directly proportional to the condensor size more so thatn any other part of the system. Also my understanding is that the convection type AC units are very efficient and require nearly no maintenance for long periods of time. Most likely it is the maintenance charges to customers that the auto companies are looking for in terms of pump type AC units among other political agendas.

One of the posts above shows a picture and describes a Cad with a household grocery refrigerator (if i read it rite) unit mounted in the trunk.

Therefore: if a houshold kitchen refrigerator was good enuf for the Cad then why not such a similar coal oil fired houshold kitchen refrigerator???? Such oil fired refrigerators were fairly common, especialy in rural areas prior to the 1970's and common sized.
