The Ford Barn

We are doing a major restoration of our 1937 Ford Fordor Convertible, one that's been in our family forever. Dad had put in a South Wind heater back in the 1940s but, in an original '37 Ford brochure that our kids found, we saw that a heater was an available option. Does anyone know about these original Ford heaters? Are they hot water heaters? Or? Can we find one? Original? Rebuilt? Reproduction?
We're not too keen on reinstalling the South Wind since they are notoriously problematic, even dangerous.
And we live in New England, so we'd really like a good heater for those chilly Fall days or for winter events ... (NO, we won't be driving on any salted roads!)
Your advice is welcome!
Thanks!
