Re: [T3] swamp cooler


My dad had a Ford that the dealer couldn't get A/C put on in time for vacation.
They installed a thing that looked like a early mustang ac unit BUT you filled
up the base of it with ice and it had a fan that circulated the cool air from
the ice. I would guess it blew over the ice but it could of had a heat exchanger
of some sorts. I am not sure as I was 5 or 6 years old then... Any one seen
something like it.. just wondering. It gets hot here on the bottom coast.(Texas)
