And I found the name back of the company I mentioned earlier. It was Diavia, they later became part of the Delphi group and are now since earlier this year part of the Webasto Group. Diavia was at the time in Europe the biggest player for after market a/c systems for cars, trucks, RV and boats.

I had a 110 parts car that had a FrigiKing dealer-installed AC. I have read they were actually installed at the port of entry not at the dealer, but not sure about that. Units with the "Kuhlmeister" (made by Thermo-King?) and Behr names were also used. I think they all used York compressors u
