If air conditioning, then historically correct (question of the month)
Lots of glass, no tinted windows - as soon as the thermometer shows over 30° C in the shade, many people prefer to leave their classic car parked. At some point, even open windows no longer help to keep the temperature inside the old car bearable. But of course you still don't want to do without your classic car during the peak season. Our last "question of the month" was therefore: Would you retrofit an air conditioning system in your classic/youngtimer?
The result was surprisingly clear. More than half of our readers (54.8%) could imagine retrofitting an air conditioning system if it was already available as a factory option for their classic car. Youngtimer owners have an advantage here. The younger the car, the higher the likelihood of this - but the more complex the installation.
Almost half as many (27.1%) categorically reject retrofitting: too expensive, too complex. After all, it used to work without it. However, half as many (14.6%) would definitely retrofit an air conditioning system, regardless of its originality.
The pro-retrofit faction is therefore clearly in the majority (69.4% in total). However, it should not be forgotten that the retrofitting of original accessories is purely hypothetical in many cases. Most cars up to the 1970s simply did not have air conditioning ex works.
Our new "question of the month" is actually an old one, but after almost eight years we would like to bring ourselves back up to date: As an Zwischengas reader, how many classic or vintage cars do you actually own?
And of course you can still read the answers to all previous questions of the week/month in the corresponding topic channel.
