Thanks for posting the AC photos. Am looking forward to the next batch. Under hood and trunk detail photos would be most appreciated.
Interesting is that one of the auto magazines of the day put together a chart of various aftermarket units and Frigikar was listed as not supporting S-P products. Obviously that did not preclude their units from being installed but I wonder if support either from Frigikar or Packard was available to get the mechanical pieces under the hood to fit. It could be the installing dealer did it all on his own and cobbled together pieces designed for another brand.
There are photos of one other Frigikar install which shows a slightly different trunk and control unit. No underhood details though. That install has some short plastic ducts on the package shelf which have a tapered slot or opening running down the front of the duct and looks as if they might also rotate a small amount. What can be seen of yours appears to be the typical rear window to headliner length just about everyone with a trunk unit used..
