🚗 It’s Car Fun Fact Friday: Fall/Winter Chill Edition! 🍁❄️
Margaret A. Wilcox, born in Chicago in 1838, is credited with inventing an in-car heating system—patenting it on Nov 28, 1893. Then in 1929, the first heater was introduced: Ford built a hot-air heater for the Model A using engine manifold heat to warm the cabin. In the U.S., heaters became popular extra-cost options, and by 1929 the Model A offered one from the manufacturer—later refined again by 1933. 🛠️🛻
