No way to sneak a fart when that fan was running, no matter how loud the fan was.

Since I discovered "Jay Leno's Garage," I now enjoy cars a lot more. This specific Channel looks pretty good too.

Man, that would not survive my driveway.

And when the heat exchanger failed it cost $2000. to replace.

@cowork2010 says:

Studebaker had a similar unit called the climatizer also under the seat but instead of a coil it looks like a small heater core

@packrcch says:

so that’s how it was done….
thank you sir!

@ellelyn2000 says:

I had a car with a heater and defrost, and under the front bench seat was a separate radiator with a dash control to heat the seat and surrounding floor space. This was all factory equipment… Name the car make or even the car company?no motor under the floor to rot out….

@Psilocinoid says:

I do believe that's the heater for the whole car.

@Leon-mn6fn says:

Luckily, they didn't put that in WOODY'S???

@MichaelAccardi-m6j says:

If it's a 1955 Buick that's not heated seats that's where the heater was located
