About Classic Auto Air’s Original Air Group 

Classic Auto Air is an American company that was founded in 1977 by Al Sedita Jr.  After graduating from high school at the peak of the original muscle car era in 1969, our founder, Al Sedita, spent the next few years on the NHRA Pro Top Fuel and Pro Stock drag racing circuit. When he returned home to attend college, he started buying and selling Corvettes and Rolls-Royce motorcars. Very few of the Rolls-Royce’s had air conditioning, making them difficult to sell in Florida. He designed a high performance system that fit in the dash, providing a stock appearance. He did one, then another, then another and in 1977, after finishing college, the systems became so popular he stopped selling the cars and turned it into the business we now know as Classic Auto Air.

With the same passion and customer focus that has always characterized Al, we’ve been satisfying classic car enthusiasts ever since. From its Rolls-Royce roots, Classic expanded its focus to Mustangs and then other Ford, GM and Mopar cars of the 50’s, through 70’s.

Initially limited to restoration, Classic has grown into a full-service classic car air conditioning company and have branched off into two distinct branches.    We still restore classic air conditioning systems with the same expertise and passion as always, but we also offer parts and compressor and condenser conversion kits and produce the best retrofit air conditioning systems on the market.

We’re not just a retail sales facility.  We offer America’s most extensive in-house restoration and duplicating department, repairing and restoring air conditioning parts and systems all day, every day.   We build air conditioning systems for Rolls-Royces.  We have more 1964-73 Mustang factory a/c parts than anyone else in the world.  We spend our time working to figure out how to improve & reproduce Original Air conditioning systems and parts so you can drive your classic in comfort, and proudly say “My car has Original Air!”
