I wouldn't be so sure about the AC. I don't think it was typical even for a general, and the European theater even less so.

Prewar AC parts, i can tell you, are extremely hard to find, and a more modern compressor is very obvious as it sits up high on the engine.

There was a service bulletin about switching the AC system from Freon to methylene chloride!


Mcarthur's car had A/C, but I'm unaware of any other staff cars that had A/C.

On the Clippers, the compressor DID NOT sit up high on the engine. Like the Cadillac V-8, it was mounted lower and to the side. There would be NO WAY the compressor they used could possibly fit under the hood of a Clipper.
