I've got 3 old ACs I'll try to get pictured and posted soon. I have a 1957 Coldspot with lighted controls that works perfectly, a GE and Catalina (Borg Warner) both from the mid 60's that work without flaw. As for real wood (not plastic) ac faces, we had friends in the late 60's who had a Mathes air cond. with a real wood front. This ac was "old" at the time--not sure how old, but worked day and night, very quiet, and absolutely beautiful. If I remember correctly, it had a mahogany finish, high gloss, very furniture like in appearance with MATHES emblazoned in gold across the wood. Very impressive.
