Another "World First" from Nash! Revolutionary New Air Conditioned Cars for Hundreds of Dollars Less!, June 24, 1954

Nash introduced a compact, practical air conditioning system for its cars in 1954. It was a $395 option -- substantial on a car that started around $2,000, but less expensive than earlier systems from other automakers. Customers liked the comfort and convenience, and within 15 years more than half of new American cars were equipped with air conditioning.
