Howard (HH56), it is not easy to understand the reason for this limitation. Men, who sat their whole day in the car and earned money by help of a Packard could not order A/C?
Gerd, that is a good point but in some cases I wonder how effective it would have been since it was in the trunk. A lot of cabs of that era were what I think was called New York Taxis. Those had a partition separating the driver and passenger so doubt he would have gotten much benefit.
I think also that most cabs then were owned by companies and not drivers. I doubt they would care to spend what was a fairly large amount of money on driver comfort. I expect taxi drivers were in sort of the same social class as chauffeurs and creature comfort was not a priority.
