Retro Fitting airconditioning on 1950s Buicks

[michaelmis]

Do any of the members have experience retro fitting airconditioners to 6volt Buicks?

This could be eihter an under dash unit from the 40s/50s or modified new units.

it's not that hard to hookup a compressor to your engine, add a condenser in front of the raditor, and hange the blower under the dash. The 6v would run the fan, but a 6v comprssor clutch, hard item to find if exists at all.

All car were 12v when cadillac started A/C in 1955.

The 1953 and up, were all 12V.

Anything older would have electrical draining issues, and overheating problem.

If you want a car with air, go to the late '50's, it's easier.
