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!!

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.
