<VV> A/C Production

[Lon Anderson]

Hey guys, 
I was going off of Bill's car being a 110/pg and a/c as far as the tag was concerned...
Just so's ya know...
:-)
Can anyone tell me what the setting was for a 140/pg with a/c was??? 
Just wondering...
Lonzo

And all the factory air cars had decals on the right rear 1/4 window 
(convertible) or on the rear windshield (2 and 4 door). And the carb jets were 
bigger.

Neither were required with Factory Air and either could be ordered without 
Factory Air. Of course, you always got a tinted windshield with the full tinted 
glass option.
