After a bit of web searching, found a picture of this old advertisement for a Tropic-Aire Model TA-49 vehicle heater.
This would have been an aftermarket heater, not purchased or installed through the dealer if I understand correctly.
I tried searching for more info or details, but didn't come up with anything specifically for that unit.
