Vintage Cars: 1951 cadillac series 75, cadillac series, blower air


Question
I am restoring a 1951 Cadillac Series 75.  I am looking for an airconditioning kit
(compressor, blower, air ducts, etc.)  Would you know of a supplier I can
contact?  I know that GM did not offer A/C as an option in 1951.

Answer
Tough one. Since it wasn't a factory option then, I think anything you find will be a so-so "aftermarket" kit, one that won't do anything for the car. Are you sure you want to add something that could hurt the value of the car?  A proper restoration doesn't include after-market options that weren't on the car when sold new. I'd think twice about going forward with this.
