I'm guessing any or all these theories were correct.
Kelvinator may have even been a vendor to Airtemp.
(FWIW, I don't believe the Airtemp Division made the
entire AC system for the cars despite the use of the
Airtemp name, which was probably due to corporate
considerations. I've seen the names "Eaton" and "Yale"
on various MoPar AC components. GM acted similarly,
using the "Frigidaire" name on car AC components that
appear to have actually been sourced from their Delco
and Harrison Radiator divisions.)

You gotta love that! My daily driver is an '87 NY
Turbo, and I'd love to find an Airtemp sticker for it...
