@delta3garcia tubes are for air conditioning

[delta3garcia]

What are those tubes on the back window for?

[ahammon82]

and yes...there are different fan speeds attainable by turning the control knobs at the head unit under the dash.

[ahammon82]

Yes, the AC works in this car. Nearly every option functioned as new except for the power antenna had some troubles. I have since sold this car, but it has a new caring owner that is enjoying it immensely. I now have a newport blue 54 Coupe Deville. I'll post videos of that car once it's completed

nice cah.

.

see how throatee the engine sounds? Those old GM cahs were loud but that's why they had good power.

.

half the fun is waiting for the radio to warm up.

.

Does the air conditioning blow cold air in this car? I remember REVERSE being all the way down in the shifter.

.

What a tank, Detroit at it's finest. Now I want to buy another.

@johnhowardesq Does the reostat have different fan speeds? I remember those too but never tried it out, let me know. Bob

what a fabulous 1956 cadillac!

[johnhowardesq]

At about 2:16 you see the reostat that controlled the A/C fan. My grandmother had one of these and I used to aggravate her by playing with the switch. I think it was intended that the old lady ride in back. Not the kid. Takes me back to trips cross country in that monster. It sure ate the gas. Hers was black with grey inside. The a/c was necessary for the Texas heat. I remember the radios. My mom's Super 88 and dad's Coupe de Ville also had those Wonderbars. Magic.
