I would love to have this AC unit if I can make it fit in my 84! Here
in Phoenix, an AC unit is a god-send!!!

I have been contemplating getting one of those
Window-Mount-To-The-Passenger's-Window evaporative coolers with the
plug-in to the cig. lighter for power. Question: Anyone have any
experience with these?
