Question about the old models,

Hello, did they put "cabin filters" in the 1970s' chrysler vehicles? I
am asking since I have a '73 new yorker coupe waiting for light
restoration.. Thank you!

You're kidding, right? No means no cabin filter.

Nope. Thank goodness, I can't imagine trying to maintain one of those
things. Its odd, but none of us ever died of hideous lung infections
after years of driving those old cars... nor did the cars turn into
swarming cesspools of bacteria and fungus. I've pulled a LOT of old air
boxes apart in junkyards and never found anything big fungus deposits.
In fact, the air that blows out of the AC on my '66 Dodge smells much
less funky than on any rental car with a cabin air filter that I've ever
driven.

IMO, cabin air filters are just another big profit margin gew-gaw that
gets tacked on modern cars.

I agree. I never heard about fungus problems until Chrysler introduced
the LH cars back in the early 1990's. This NG was full of *smelly A/C*
posts. Later, they added a *service port* to facilitate injecting the
solution to kill the fungus. GM offered a kit that would run after the
A/C was turned off in an attempt to dry out the evaporator.
