Equip-Aire was one of several aftermarket brands that sold moderately well back in the day. There was enough demand for these things that most cities had shops that specialized in installing them. They sold because the price to the car owner was quite a bit less than factory or even dealer installed units. Also, they could be installed on car/engine combinations that weren't offered with factory air.

Almost all of these used York or Tecumseh compressors. They cooled well enough, but a lot of people didn't care for them because of their "afterthought" looks or the loss of legroom under the dash.
