1954 Cavalier AC

There has been some interest expressed here in the installation of AC on pre-1955 Packards. I recently visited with a friend in a nearby town who has a 1954 Cavalier with a vintage after market AC installed. This system and was probably installed in the first year or years of the car life. The car still has the original type compressor fitted. The installation is interesting because the drive belt for the compressor is driven from a pulley IN BACK of the damper. Getting photos of this drive method was difficult due to the cramped space on the front of the engine. I will break up the photos into different sections: engine compartment (included here), interior, and trunk. The photos are posted with the owner's permission.
