vintage air may go on it next year. The Mustang resto shop that looks afer my Cougar is amazingly, a DEALER for vintage air.
He told me (owner of the shop) in answer to MY question, that it would be MY choice as to whether to put R134a or the more expensive R12 in the car.
R12 is harder to get now, and LOTS more expensive when you do, but I am a lot more comfortable with it, and it cools better than R134a does.
Which of the two will you select for the Studebaker?

I have not thought about it. I'll prolly ask for advice from my old car buddies here and here.
