it had a simple box compressor/expander and even if you had to replace the seals every year, it would have been a lot cheaper than recharging with freon!! ----------------------- Clip ------------------------ In 1964 Oldsmobile began to cast in large plates on exhaust manifolds. These were isolated to the New Toronado in 1965. The plates were for mounting a cooker that heated gas ???? Freon. The expanded gas passed through a very fine orifice that gasified and cooled the evaporator insider the car. Pretty good idea but they never figured how to keep the system pressure down ........ K pow! On many test vehicles. Lots if things going on back then .......... I saw one of the Chrysler Turbine Cars on a daily basis driving around. I was driving a T Bucket roadster to work every day and smoked the Turbine Lead Sleds many times at red lights. One thing that I thought unusual ............... the GM Zone managers carried a major First Aid / Rescue kit in their trunk and other than lots of medical bandages and such it had two cadaver bags in each kit.
