When I was 19 I had a 54 Chevy, I live in northern NY just off of lake Ontario, The weather here is so bad, that army trains troops at Fort Drum for winter manuvers, the car had vacum wipers and 6 volt battery , it NEVER let me down the wipers clean the windshield the car would start in -20 degree , in fact that winter my dads new car would not start, I had to drive him to work too, The wipers would stop when you floored it, witch as a DUMB kid I did quite offen, it would do 85 mph, you just had to use your head to keep you windshield clean .
A few years later I got a 1971 Chevelle the "electric" wipers were in my opion a Stupid design in far lighter snow storms than I drove the old 54 in, the wipers would pact show in the middle of the windshield and then stall I'd stop the car and clean them out ,I've had this problem with other modern cars , these are the little thing that make be hate modern cars!
I always ,to me , think it's funny when people modifiy old cars and trucks and say they wanted it to be "Driveable" .I thought that's what I was doing with these old cars and trucks over the years?
Well I hope I have not offened any one, it's just my thoughts , BILL
