One of the better A/C Factory set-ups I've seen was in a 1955 Fleetwood I almost bought in 1967. The system was in the trunk like all GM cars of that year and sent the conditioned air through two clear plastic ducts into ductwork hidden by the headliner. There were four registers: one over the driver and the rear seat passenger directly behind him; with a duplicate setup on the passenger side of the car. The only drawback was you could freeze your head if the system was set to "Ice-age".

Maybe that's why so many Caddy drivers of that vintage wore fedoras in the summertime?

I agree with Pat for the reasons he states. My '55 doesn't have A/C - but it will.
