I have never seen anything like that.
Swamp coolers didn’t work well here in Fort Worth probably due to the humidity.

Back in the 50s we used these in Tucson but only when taking longer trips as they were a pain to maintain but worked well until we got back east.. Today's evaporative auto coolers are 12v units that sit in the car/truck.

USPS mail trucks have a simple form of a/c: a small fan and open windows :)

The cool front is coming thru here also but I can’t ride for now either. My cardiologist wants me to wait until more tests are done. My last cardiologist missed a lot.
