Hi Wes,

Thanks for the heads-up about the Refrigair aftermarket unit from Popular Science 8-53. I am, however, focusing on factory air.

You may enjoy a book written by Rod Barclay, Boy! That Air Feels Good!, sold on Amazon, which details the complete history of aftermarket AC and its roots in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. It's a very good read.

Since you have Popular Science resources, look up the 10-52 edition. It lays out the plans for the 1953 factory air conditioning systems, with images.

Also, find the 2-53 edition which focuses on the 1953 Oldsmobile AC.

I appreciate your input, from now and before, and welcome more factory AC information. My Volume 1 comprises 1940-1942 and 1953 systems. Volume 2 will cover 1954-1960 systems.
