    Muffman58, thanks, but no I mean those big cylinders that they mounted ussualy outside the passenger window to take air in while driving and blow colder air inside the car..early 30's and 40's, before air was available standard on cars I guess...

    If you find pics of a bullet shaped one, post them, and if you make one, definiteley post and maybe do a tech if possible.

    You realize, of course, that in order to be period perfect you will need to have a "DESERT" bag hanging on the door handle. Bob
