That is one version of the optional 55-57 Chevy electric wiper motor. I forget which year just bolts in a Packard and will take the co-ordinator directly as long as there is a mount on the motor for the co-ordinator bracket. One year Chevy had a different co-ordinator so that motor bracket does not work with the co-ordinator Packard used. The mounts came with the washer kits so if removing a motor from a junkyard car without the washer the mount may not be there.
I had one of those motors on my car for a lot of years that I was lucky enough to find it in a junkyard in the 70s. Downside is price and availability plus it is big, heavy and bulky. Unfortunately I believe the original 55-7 motors are now almost as expensive and extinct as some Packard AC parts. They do show up on ebay but AFAIK, that style was not repro'd or if it was, has sold out. Several Chevy sites are starting to promote the Newport as their electric option.
