Evanair-Conditioner
The 1938 Hupmobile Evanair-Conditioner, together with the concurrent Nash Weather Eye The Weather Eye was a trade name for a Nash Motors-designed fresh-air system for automobile passenger compartment heating, cooling, and ventilating. The Nash "All-Weather Eye" was the first automobile air conditioning system for the mass mark ..., were the automobile industry's first fresh-air hot water heating systems. Kelch fresh-air exhaust heaters had been available on Packard automobiles for several years prior to the introduction of these systems. The Hupmobile system differed from the better-known Nash system by drawing up to {{Convert, 150, cuft, m3 of fresh outside air per minute through special hood louvers and thence through filters and heating coils into the passenger compartment. The Evanair-Conditioner, unlike the Weather Eye, was mounted entirely within the engine compartment, and the hot-water control switch was mounted on the dashboard.
