Novel approach to lack of electrical power
The car had twin alternators as in the picture above, seem an odd thing to do as these cars had mechanical fans for cooling.
I wonder why they did this? Were the alternators that unreliable?

They did not have twin alternators, that's someone,s lash up, they did struggle to keep cool due to a very small front opening to the radiator had a regular mopar radiator, fan shroud and fixed or viscous fan,,

That’s why they are called alternators Steve. If one fails you have an alternative.
