More precisely "factory installed 2-60 air conditioning" (two vents, 60 MPH).

Totally agree! Miss this as well! Was nice not having to take your hands away from the wheel.

That's right. Also, in many of the fullsize cars of the 60s and 70s there were what we called "crotch cooler/balls blowers" vents. They were located in the lower instrument panel and directed (adjustable) to the middle of the seat. For those posters who "wish they had" some feature they were dreaming about: GET OVER IT!

lol I'd blind people all the time if it was on the floor like this pic shows


I'm 6' 3" and it wouldn't work well for me since my feet rest right where that switch would be.

I guess position was different by company? I think our Ford had it over to the right and not directly in line with the foot rest... Can't remember! I see your point though.

Always on the left. You needed your spare foot to operate it.

Double clutch, heel and toe AND dimming your lights at the same time was a b!tch tho.

And you do? The dip beam stalk can be operated without taking either hand off the steering wheel unless your fingers are incredibly short

It's the new hybrid. And, bonus, you can make tea without draining the battery.

Ok, so fingers away from the wheel?

And a cleverly hidden vent could reproduce a Marilyn Monroe subway grating moment with the gorgeous steam punk Lady next to you :-P

They weren't that sensitive, it took intentional pressure to make them turn on/off. you could rest your foot on it.

So, you're just tossing the cigarette butts into the AC vents now?

Bringing back an old thread from the dead. This is what I found as far as interior venting goes.
