Dual Air

[Print Bear <prntbear@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chrysler put Dual Air Conditioning in a lot of cars, notably the 
Imperial and the T&C Wagons. Additionally, Chrysler "Airtemp" is what 
comes into my mind when I think of what A/C should be: Think lots of 
cold air, condensation on the die-cast metal vents, and Max AC!!!

I never owned a Dual Air equipped car, but my guess is that these cars 
must have been like refrigerators on wheels! Was this a needed option? 
What with such a great system to begin with, I wonder why they went to 
the trouble to add a second system? When the second system was part of 
an Auto Temp system would there be a second set of controls for the 
rear system? Maybe the rear system was a carry over from the years when 
A/C first appeared in cars, usually on the rear deck, and they just 
kept it there as an option while adding the front system?

Just the ramblings of my mind......
