I notice that the 56 Continental Mk II had vacuum wipers. Variable speed ,variable arc, parking out of the wipe zone and quietness are nice features. I am a little baffled by all the discussion. For half the price of an electric conversion you send your 60 year old motor to Mr. Ficken and it comes back working perfectly. You rebuild the fuel pump, which needed doing anyway, add another $4 for some rubber tubing and you are done. Ok, if you are running a V8 with no vacuum pump you would need to use a Thunderbird fuel pump for the vacuum boost. I find that with not too much expense or trouble they work just fine on my cars.
