Biography
Jack Chisenhall is credited with making climate-control systems
accessible by founding the San Antonio, Texas, company Vintage Air, and also
helped create what is now the Hot Rod Industry Alliance (HRIA), among other
innovations and contributions. His work made enthusiasts’ cars more comfortable
and easier to drive, and that meant more miles logged behind the wheel, more
money spent on modifications and more time on the road wrenching, driving,
building and enjoying these cars. It was a cultural shift and a game changer.
