The Ford Barn

Hello Barners!

It's been some time since I have visited and posted on the forum and this may have been discussed at some point, and I may have even posed the question once before but here goes.

My 56 Victoria get's extremely hot inside on these hot summer days after driving it some distance.

I don't have A/C and I know cars get hot without it, but there is a LOT of heat in the floor area under the dash.

I drove it about 100 miles total last Saturday to and from a car show and liked to roasted on the way home. I mean it was very uncomfortable and I was sure glad to get home and get out of it.

There is no water going to the heater and the core is not hot. I am wondering if that much heat could be transferring from the exhaust manifolds, inside the car?

Any thoughts or has anyone experienced this before and what did you do? We put new carpet in this car a year ago last February but didn't put any of that foil barrier under it.

I drive a 65 pick up to work everyday and there is NO engine heat getting in the cab on it and it's actually not too bad to drive compared to the Vicky.

Thanks in advance.

Kevin
