Air Conditioned Hudson Jet?

    Has anyone installed air conditioning in a Hudson Jet? I am assuming that one of these retro-fit AC kits would work as long as you switched to 12 volt, but I'm asking for a fellow H-E-T'er who is thinking of possibly doing this. I do know a local fellow in the H-E-T who has installed AC in his 6-volt '54 Hornet but of course that's a larger engine.

    I never seen one on a Jet, but I have seen A/C in a Hash Wasp, which has the same motor.

    Yes, AC has been installed in a Jet. Think it was Bob Johnson in Nebraska that did a red/ white Super Jet with AC. used the compact Sanden SD-5 compressor I think, with single groove pully, and 12 V alternator. There was even a green 37 Terraplane Coupe with the same Sanden AC compressor on the 3X5 splasher.

    Thanks Ken. You wouldn't be thinking of James Johnson of Omaha, would you? He is listed in the roster as owning a Super Jet.
