I'm not saying the frame was spliced, but my step-nephew talked my
brother into buying a lincoln continental, beautiful car, 2 maybe 4
years old, and the AC didn't work well. I tried recharging it,
measuring the output air temp, didn't help. Eventually a mechanic found
that the air duct under the dash, I guess, wasn't connected to the next
air duct and I guess the cold air was leaking out of the cabin. I
presume it was in some big accident.
