There is a 48 Hudson listed on Collector Car Trader Online that has what the ad is calling a rare factory rear window wiper. I have never seen or heard of this. Has anyone else?

Thanks, Bob

    Yes Bob

    That was an option that was available. Hudson was first with many things.

    I seem to recall that Hudson offered it first in either 1939 or 1940. It would have been vacuum-operated. Also in either '39 or '40, they had a vacuum antenna.

    I had never heard of it either but in the last year I've seen at least two. I think at Macungie ... Jon were you paying attention?

    Yes - I've seen a few kits on ebay over the last year. I also really like the louvered rear window shade - I gotta get one someday...

    THe wiper was avaliable for 48 and 49. I have a NOS set (not for sale). There is a special wiper motor which mounts belor the drivers side of the rear windor. Long vac. lines go to a switch on the dash. Then hoses again to a 'T' on the normal wiper motor feed.

    They are not all that rare
