Anything to do with 50's caddy reminds me of my Dad's first Caddy, a used '56 with AC first car in the family with AC.....Dad so used to windows down he never thought of using it, had the plastic piped up the rear window and fed air ducts to vents over the top edges near the windows.....

I remember one summer vacation to go see my cousin and we sweating it out on the drive, and so Dad finally hit the switch for this new invention called AIR CONDITIONING!!! put up the windows and thought we in heaven......short time later Dad bought TWO window AC units for the house....one for me, and one for the master B/R..........

Believe it or not, I still have one of them....55 years later, used it here in Florida to freeze out the family room/kitchen area while our central was fixed.....for the second time in the 18 years I been in Florida.....freeze the balls off a brass monkey that thing will, took it to Tejas with me in '70 to keep the apt. cool.....made by ADMIRAL Corp.....before Ross Saraguza took it over and ruined the name with shit products.......
