Let the ride decide, thanks again for the linked content.
Quote: ...It is interesting the compressor has a casting date of March 1945. Wonder if the compressor was an off the shelf refrigeration item that was made to go into a commercial refrigerator of the time or a service replacement item made for Packard (and maybe Cadillac) parts stock. Either way it would be nice to find a few of them laying around. Howard, I second the assumption, that this compressor was intended to be installed into something else. Maybe a maritime application? Which kind of compressors are in the PT-boats?

With the 1938 dates on the last two clippings and the second article saying the unit was completely under the floor I would imagine these are the modified Trane units mentioned in the Henney book.
This implementation was pre Packard AC and book mentioned Henney had worked with Trane to repackage a standard commercial unit with a compressor driven by an electric motor to fit in the confined space. Book went on to mention there was a large generator bolted on the engine to provide 110v for the compressor motor.

Interesting that is says that it was built on a "standard wheel-base chassis made by the Packard Motor Car Company". Does that mean that it was a sedan-ambulance rather than one of the long wheelbase ambulances?

Most likely it means that the person who wrote the story did not know that there was a difference and just wanted to convey that the running gear was Packard and the rest was Henney. Ernie in Arizona

Ernie, I suspected that that might be the case.

Just curious, since most the ads say control of the AC is controlled by the Passenger. Where is the controls or control located and would this be the knob (control)?
