Ocean Green is a very nice color. If possible, please post a link to a photo.

It sounds like you have a recirculating heater. It does not use "fresh air" through the lower right cowl.

The other 53-55 heater (named Air Flow in 1954) was different from the similar looking 1952 and earlier heater. That style 1953-55 heater allowed cable-controlled recirculation of interior air (blocking off the outside air) OR intake of the outside air.

Alvin,

I do not have time now to search for a thread with photos/info on A-D heaters, but here is a thread with some information (at least about "de luxe" heaters).
