Would it be filtered air? The Nash Weather Eye had a filter way ahead of everyone else to filter air coming into the passenger compartment. 55 years is to early for AC. 

I can't think of what about the filtering system was patentable. I know Nash traded something about the design of the Waether Eye system to GM in exchange for GM supplied auto transmissions (the right to use the trans, they still bought them from GM!) around 1950, making Nash the only non-GM that year to have autos, IIRC. Of course that changed a year or two later -- GM sold to some other makes, and a BW/Studebaker/Ford team came out with their trans. And lest I forget, Packard had the "Ultramatic" in mid 1954. That has the distinction of being the only auto developed by an independent. Stude and BW started that auto trans endeavour, but it was a team effort. Ford joined after Stude-BW had started.
