Lateral-G ’62 Cadillac Limo

Lateral-G has done a few Restomod Air installs over the years from a ’65 Chevelle, to recently a ’66 Chevelle wagon. Tim King of Lateral-G wanted to push the limits and see if Restomod Air could cool the big interior 1962 Cadillac Limo. If you remember Restomod Air took our ’69 Camaro to Death Valley, the hottest place on earth with ground temps of 145 degrees. Our ’69 Camaro was a cool 42 degrees inside with outside temps of 118 degrees. So, we were pretty confident that we could cool this big-ass Caddy.

To cool this beast, they used the Full-Size Haymaker–S Climate Control System with A/C & Heat with Infinite Blend between Dash, Defrost, and Floor. The Haymaker–S is made specifically for full-size vehicles with large interiors. Infused Bluetooth technology this a/c system will evolve with every update and never will you have an outdated a/c system again. “This car has double the air space of a standard ’69 Camaro, if not more.” Restomod Air Haymaker-S a/c system has the S-SERIES wiring system with Switch Technology is all about Simplified Wiring for easier installs.

“Originally the car had two A/C units – one in the dash and the other in the trunk to try to keep it cool.” With the front Haymaker-S unit mounted, Lateral-G wanted to get the rear unit mounted up and figured out a bit before running all the hoses and lines that are needed. A second Haymaker-S could have been mounted in the rear to accommodate the need for a rear unit. Lateral-G decided to go with our Trunk Mounted Air Conditioning System. “The wiring on this one is ultra-simple as it’s basically just a fan blower switch to wire up.”.

Installing the Trunk Mounted Air Conditioning System is simple to do. Tim King says, “We slide the unit into place, centered it, then used a self-tapping screw to attach it to the floor. We ran wires for the control knob all the way up to the dash and mounted this knob by itself on the other panel we made. We ended up wiring in a relay so that this rear unit will only kick on when the front unit is powered up. This unit is a re-circulatory system like the front, but we don’t want it sucking in hot air from the trunk. There’s an inlet duct that we cut into the package tray to pull air from the cabin into the unit to be cooled off instead of the hot trunk air.” To see more on this ‘62 Cadillac Limo check out the Lateral-g article here.
