Excellent example of the Thermador evaporative cooler or "swamp" cooler offered in the late 1940s through early 1960s.

Works as designed, strings are still attached and rotate the sisal drum perfectly. Spring tension still smooth. Fill flap (see photo) intact.

Original green patina - decided to never restore. Replica label can be removed with alcohol; most labels I've seen are more toward the intake grill.

Strut rod had surface rust and was lightly sanded and bathed in matte nickel paint. Still uses the square nut on rod. Foot was Plasti-dipped in black, as were all clamps so it can be used safely on the best auto finishes.

I'll include two (2) copies of the color scan of the original instructions. Very nice to frame for shows.

Rod will be removed and wrapped for safe shipping.

Thanks for looking and good luck.

Renault designers on their interpretation of luxury [w/Video]

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

Renault's design chief Laurens van den Acker and his design team have stressed how the Initiale Paris concept previews how Renault design's tactics will help steer clear of its rivals within the premium segment.  The concept – the sixth to be developed in the design strategy inspired by the cycle of life, now in the Wisdom stage – heralds Renault's return to the high-end market after a number of years. It was, therefore, important that the design be a positive rejection of traditional ideas of luxury, design director of concept cars Axel Breun believes. Designer Choung Sun Oh goes to great pains to stress how the design team worked towards developing a highly original design to set them apart from rivaling brands upon re-entry.
