Wade, I learned a couple of things from your email, thanks. My '63 Imperial 
has a rear a/c unit so I'm kind of interested in the dual a/c setup in 
general. I think I have a correction, though. I have a picture of a 1973 
dual a/c Town&Country where they used a ceiling mounted rear view mirror. It 
looks like it has a longer extension on it than the regular sedans, 
maybe/maybe not. Yet another piece of trivia to investigate.

Thanks again.
