What type of original heater did the 1933 ford have. I assume that California cars usually did not have a heater?

Here is an exhaust heat, heater used in the early V8s. I'm not sure how early they went, but this is a 1934 heater. It hung on the R/H side of the engine (photo 1).
Frest air entered the front hole, on top, and exited through the second hole, into the cab through some flexible tubing. The air was heated by the exhaust, which exited the engine through the interior tubes, which you can see in photo 2.
The open mouthed collector tubes (photo 3) collected the air, right behind the fan.
There was a shut-off, which mounted on the fire wall, on the inside. It also has a directional control.
