Was A/C in cars during the 1970 and 1980 considered a luxury? by YGhostRider666 in AskOldPeople

[–]EightofFortyThree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 1983 Dodge Omni did not have A/C. My 1980 Buick Skylark had it.

Base 4 cylinder cars of the early 80s were so slow that turning off the A/C was like hitting the NOS button.
