Title: History of Ford Air Conditioning
Post by: BigDave LM6174 on September 05, 2014, 12:11:08 AM: Three brothers, Lowell, Hillo, and Maxwell invented a system of air conditioning for the first automobiles. They went to Henry Ford with their invention. Henry Ford offered them $2500 for the invention. The brothers agreed to it as long as their name was on the dash of every car with a/c. That is why every Ford has LOW, HI and MAX on their dash.

See, Everything you read on the internet must be true.
