    '54 AIR Switch Under Dash?

    What is the switch under the dash marked AIR on a '54 Corvette?

    It looks like it has 3 positions. What is it supposed to do?

    Thank you.

    Are you talking about the lever that opens the cowl vent?

      No. This is a little switch that looks like a wall mounted light switch. It has a black body and a white knob that says AIR on it.

        I've never seen anything like that on any 53, 54, or 55 Corvette I've ever examined. Can you post a pic?

            Certainly not an original item. I have no idea what it could be. Maybe an auxiliary fan?
