Vintage Thermador Car Cooler – Mid-Century Automotive Swamp Cooler

A vintage Thermador Car Cooler, an accessory from the mid-20th century.

Constructed from galvanized steel, this unit features a cylindrical design with a venting mechanism and a partially preserved original label, lending it charm and authenticity.

Perfect for vintage car enthusiasts, collectors, or repurposing projects, this Thermador Car Cooler represents a time when ingenuity met style in the automotive industry.
