Did cars even have air conditioning back then?

1930 – The “car cooler” uses the evaporation of water (rather than your own sweat) to cool air, which is then blown in through the open passenger-side window. Though it’s the first item to actually lower the air temperature, it only works in areas with very low humidity – and it looks like you have a vacuum cleaner strapped to the side of your car.

They were pretty innovative back then!

Nothing speeds innovation like having one’s balls stuck to one’s leg.

ok guys.. Option "A" is castration. I don't care how elaborate option "B" is, but we're going with that!

They existed, but it took until the 1960s to become common in upper class models.

I'd expect this can to be above upper class models though LOL
