Any of you "boys" remember the ones that used to hang off of a rear, side window? They were kind-a round and a couple of feet long?

I made my own out of a coffee can (IIRC) used tin snips to cut out a flap that I bent to hook on the window of our old chevy. it made a small chip in the two ply window so I quickly removed it and hid it before the crack started developing in that window. Plead ignorance when the crack formed. :)

And also, do you remember the "Water bag" that we used to hang in front of the radiator and it would "seep" water and therefore, sort of put cold "moistured air" into the radiator which, in theory, would help cool it. Man, that was a while ago. Man I'm getting old.

When I was a kid, we actually had both on our 57 Chevy station wagon. Mom would fill the window cooler with water, then pull on a string once in a while to dip the pads into the water. They actually worked pretty good when travelling across the desert SW.

I used to have a 12V swamp on mine, but I can't imagine having a full size one on a bus. Wish you'd taken a picture.

Good youtube material
