For those interested in 53/54 A/C, these are the same interior fresh air ducts that Packard used. They mount on the inside of the quarter panel underneath the external air scoops. Just need to add the bowden cables and rear package tray turn levers. Good price for them if you want to make functional air scoops.

Howard, I finally located the picture I was looking for. This is a 53-54 Packard A/C internal ducts, cables and rear deck control knobs.
I think the shape looks the same as the Cadillac ones listed on eBay.

You could be right about the duct assys. I just don't have a good enough shot of an evaporator top to know if the ducts are physically separate and are actually located behind the return air filter assys or are a part of them.
The control I am almost positive is Cadillacs version. I have one of those around somewhere that came off a Cad. The printing and bezel on that control looks different than Packards. The parts book and photos of the components on the Packard shelf show two knobs for controls instead of the single. When I did the Pacific mentioned in another thread I was going to use a 54 or 5 Cad setup so took the unit out of a junkyard car. I do remember a pair of those ducts were on top. Found that because of the return air the Cad unit would not fit without messing with the Packard X bracing behind the seat. Chucked that idea and made my own case using photos in the service manual and some photos of a Packard install. Silly me did not think to get in the trunk to take good shots of the top and sides of the Packard evaporator when I had the opportunity-- just have shots from the outside not much different than those in SM. This photo posted somewhere else shows the shelf and controls. You can tell it is 54 because of the senior knobs with the triangle motif. A photo of the car I looked at has junior or maybe 53 knobs. If anyone has a decent photo of an evaporator top I would be most interested if it could be posted. I looked at the photos I collected of that unit on ebay last year and none of them show the top at all.

You're probably right. Those ducts came out of Yocum's shed, and I know he was stock piling original Packard A/C parts to put it in his 53 Patty. So I assumed those were Packard parts.

What are the knobs on the parcel shelf for?

They work flapper valves that controls the amount of outside air admitted to the unit from the scoops on the fenders.

Thank you and that's what I thought. Seems awkward but probably better than running cables to the dash!
