I did not have AC until 1977 when I bought a Honda Civic Wagon. It was an add-on. I would have to turn it off if I was climbing a long grade and the temp meter climbed. Before that is was the top down or 4 by 55 (windows down and 55 mph). Actually the first AC that I experienced was on a Rambler American driving through the desert southwest. It was one of those vintage evaporative coolers that hung on the side window. It worked. Not something I would try in most other areas of the country. If you suffer a while in the heat, then you will appreciate the AC in the new car all the more. Trading in? Must be one of those deals where the dealer says, "Push it, pull it or tow it... we will pay you top dollar on your trade-in."
