Howard, it does seem like an odd location. Perhaps the nozzle can be directed to the right position on the glass?

Here's the peak under the hood of the San Antonio Packard, showing the washer bottle

I don't know what style the jets were on the Clippers but a couple of later 22nd series cars had some very much like these early 50s Jaguar repros that I am planning to use. They appear to be fairly adjustable. The washer assy I think based on price and units that were available is also a repro and appears similar to the Packard item except for the pump can being black instead of natural. Even has Trico molded into the bottle. The ebay Jag vendor selling the washer had them listed as being used on Jaguar as well as several 40s to early 50s US cars including Packard.

On my 54th series the jets are inboard similar to the bottom pic, however they are part of the wiper mount. No seperate hole in the cowl.
Same looking jet with the little plastic washer. I havent found a good replacement for the little plastic washer under the knurled adjuster and I keep making my own. Jim

My 23rd series also has the jet incorporated into the tower.
I have no idea if this is correct for the 23rd series or was added later in the cars life. Anyone know for sure?

Thanks for posting. That writeup being from Automotive Digest would seem to indicate there was a postwar push to sell those things. Packards own Service Counselor had a blurb or two reminding dealers it was a new accessory and to sell them to good customers as a safety item and a source of profit. Kind of surprising more were not installed in the 46-50 period.
