Howard, I'll certainly take my camera and will add your interest in the A/C unit to the other things I hope to examine. But when thinking about the A/C unit and it's origins, keep in mind that, based on the body #, fabrication of this car most probably started in 1951.

It appears the A/C outlets are routed beneath the floor pan; one might have expected the discharge to be in the rear of the fixed front seat but no sign of them there. Perhaps beneath the rear seat as the heater outlets were in the postwar LWB cars? I have perhaps a dozen other photos I haven't posted, no clues there.

Edited: Our local CCCA region is having a tour of the Kanter Bros. collection next Sunday, and on the way back I'll stop to see the car, we'll see what can be learned.
