Traveling with open windows

Interesting answers, show how our culture has changed. We always travelled with windows open, car and travel trailer, in warm weather before we had air conditioning. Kept the house windows open too. Did a lot of dusting.

First A/C in a car for us was 1980, bought that one without A/C in Michigan, added aftermarket when I got to Oklahoma. Never lived in a house with A/C before 1980, now it is almost universal in the South and common in newer homes up north.

I remember when Mom and Dad moved to El Dorado KS in 1961, the house did not have A/C. It was hot, humid and miserable. We ended up getting window A/C's until we got central air in 1972. The first car they had that had A/C was a 1961 Oldsmobile, they traded a 1955 Packard in on it.

My first truck a 1955 Dodge did not have A/C. Heater, AM tube radio, and wipers was it.
