 The Question:
Can you tell me what year and what model of car was the first to
have a heater installed?
The Answer:
The first car to feature a factory-installed heating/air
conditioning system was the 1939 Packard, made by the Packard Motor Car
Company.
The car was publically exhibited for the first time Nov. 4-12,
1939 at the 40th Automobile
Show in Chicago.
The refrigerating/heating coils were located behind the rear
seat and took up the entire trunk.
