Topic: A/C in a 47 mercury coupe

  Just finished installing a Vintage Air unit into my 47 Mercury coupe. Wife will now ride with me. She also wanted seat belts.
Installation took about a week. My local Napa store where I work part time made up all the hoses.Vintage air doesn't make an installation kit for this car so laying out all the components take a little time. Air/heat/defrosters work great. I wish I would have installed electric wipers before I installed the unit under the dash.
Other changes I made for the A/C....
1. Generator to alternator.
2. Changed over to 12V.
3. Went to electronic ignition.
4. Switched original radio to FM tuner.
I have a shop at my home where I work on cars 1903 thru 1980.
