[77 Canamman]

The old Frigidaire A-6 compressors, while effective, are heavy and use a fair amount of HP. They are still one of my favorites.

Fairly common in the northern states and Canada to order cars without AC. You just don't need it that much.

Absolutely true for Canada. My old man bought his first new car in 1950 and the first 'new' car he bought with A/C was a 1980 Grand Prix, it was a salesman's demonstrator. I can't recall anybody I knew as a kid having A/C in their car except my Uncle in his 67 Coupe Deville.

Now a rear window defroster, if it wasn't standard you soon installed one. This was a very common dealer installed option.

Anyone have any idea how many Can Ams are in Canada these days ? Never being sold in Canada I've never in my entire life seen one. I know Chief Wanabee has one and I have heard there is one in Toronto and now Halifax.

Ac on an old pontiac?
not on my 73 GTO or 67 Lemans.
Wife has it on her 91 convertible.
IS there any irony in this?
