Are you referring to a swamp cooler? It's a universal US-made accessory during the 40s-60s. There's several different brands 4-sale on the classifieds section of this very web site.

i am gladd that they should fit all bugs i thought the little front vent window was reshaped in the mid 60's and that could affect the fit of this thing

They work on the basis of evaporative cooling. If you leave in a very low humidity area (Arizona, New Mexico, etc) they can lower the temperatur by up to 15-25 Farenheit.

In humid (Florida, Lousiana, etc) states they do not do a damm thing.

They are definitely worthless here.

Those are "Swamp Coolers", they're much larger. Do a search for Thermador, or Swamp Coooler in the classifieds or gallery.

I grew up in the back seat of a 55 Plymouth that crossed the country a lot with one of those ugly things on the passenger window.
As a historical artifact they're interesting, but a spray bottle or wet towel works as well and doesn't hamper opening the window.
