1939 Window Washer
-
In 1939 window washers were an accessory. Has anyone ever seen one or have some pictures ?
I would like to put some on mine ,but keep it as original as possible. -
Unless you have extraordinary luck and find the entire kit (unlikely), you will have to find each of the components yourself. The squirter nozzles are stock Trico (they were used in many cars) and they screw to holes that come pre-drilled and tapped in the 1939 (and later) chrome stanchions. These were identical to earlier stanchions except for the squirter holes which were added in '39. You can sometimes find them NOS. Then, you will need an authentic glass washer fluid bottle with steel bracket. These were used in many makes, they're made by Trico as well. Finally, you will need the pushbutton valve which (as far as I know) would have been mounted under the dashboard. With any luck, someone with one of those early washer kits, will jump in with photos and more information. Again, all of these components were made by Trico and sold to Hudson (and other manufacturers) so "the stuff is still out there".
