Several years back I got the notion to change the vacuum wipers in my 57 to
an electric wiper. I found one in a 59 and tried to put it in and it was
different. I don't recall exactly what the problem was but either the bolt
in was different or the connection to the transmission linkages was
different. At any rate the guy (an old timer)that I bought it from took it
back because he said he knew the 58 and 59 were different and he
misunderstood what I was going to use it for. A couple of days later I
stumbled across a 56 which had the electric motor and it bolted right into
place on mine. Been working fine since.
