John, I had originally considered the center return as was done 53-4 and with all the trunk units available at the time. Even have a vintage 55-6 ARA unit I have been hanging onto all these years for the purpose.

About the time I started seriously working on adding AC found out Joe was thinking of reproing prewar units so that kind of opened up possibilities. After some thought, finally decided I wanted a modern system and aside from the compressor, would make the unit look more prewar as if the AC was also an updated postwar continuation of the Packard unit just as the bodies were continuations.

The prewar units had the outlet in the center of the shelf & figured Packard would have kept it there so kind of ruined any more thoughts of making a postwar unit with return air in that location work.. Bought just the case from Joe to re-package my modern "universal" system, made the controls look vintage to match and you know the rest of the story.
