Any idea what car the washer on the left in the glass bottle came from. I have never seen that style on a Packard and it looks to be completely vacuum operated.

Washers Packard used were controlled in combination with the wiper motor or were all electric. Reason for question is I have photos of an all vacuum wiper switch for 55-6 models. Tag says approved for production and is late 56. To the best of the information I can find that style washer was never used on a production car.

Am just wondering is if that washer came off a Packard, did they actually produce cars with that all vacuum combination or was it only something considered for the future. Maybe it was to be something simpler and more economical than the electric version.
