Professor Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 All, I have a factory Chrysler heater in my airstream, but I think it is missing a chrome emblem on the front of the heater. If you have a heater (factory or otherwise), can you post an image of it? I have looked everywhere I can think of but find images of Airstream heaters to be relatively rare. I will post an image of my heater shortly. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperJonas Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) Joe, Here is a picture of the heater in my '35 CZ; I have no reason to doubt it being a factory item though it looks quite a bit different than yours. It seems by 1936, the Airstreams were becoming more refined and perhaps yours has defrost or a additional variable fan/directional capability. Mine is simply a 2 speed heater that actually works quite well, in fact it will toast you out of the car even on low! Hope this helps at least somewhat, Greg Edited October 1, 2020 by SuperJonas (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35cz8 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I do not have a heater in my '35 Airstream CZ Deluxe, but I also have a '36 Dodge and have an original accessories fold out that shows there were four different models you could get for it. I would assume that the same would go for the Chrysler as well. I am sure we may find a few different heaters that would have been either factory or approved dealer installed heaters. If anyone would like to see a scan of the Dodge heaters, I can provide it as I have scanned the foldout and it is now digital. I know my '36 Dodge heater even has a brass plate on it with the word Dodge on it so might be something to look for on a Chrysler heater as well. Good luck.

Professor Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 Hi Bob, I would love to see a scan of the heaters in the accessories fold out, and if you have the time, an image of your body ID tag (showing paint and options) on your firewall. I am trying to figure out option codes for my 36 Airstream CC8 and an image of your body ID tag would be most helpful. Thanks so much for the help Bob.

35cz8 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Like I said, my accessories fold out is for 1936 Dodge but shows the four heater used for the Dodge. I can send it to you or post it here whichever you want. I will try to get a pic of the ID tags on my firewall as soon as I can and will get it to you as well. Let me know how you want it sent.

Professor Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Thanks so much! None of these heaters match what is on my 36, but look at those prices! $8.95 in today’s dollars is about $167... quite expensive it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uptowndodge Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Took this one out of a 36 Desoto parts car I had. I restored it and it’s just been setting around in my clean parts room. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
