Yes, I have had a lot of experience with vacuum wipers too. It is interesting that back in the 20's when the first Model A Fords came out, the vacuum wipers were considered more desirable than the el

Maybe, but vacuum-operated wipers persisted into the early 1950's, at least in GM cars. And some cars had mechanical fuel pumps with built-in vacuum pumps to assist manifold vacuum in keeping the wi

Seems to me I remember seeing them on early- to mid-1960s AMC (Rambler) products. And not to belabour the point too much: at least in my 1951 Chevrolet, unless you were climbing a long hill or other

I remember that well. The 1939 Buick, 1940 Chevrolet, 1949 Pontiac, and 1950 Chevrolet my family had when I started driving all had vacuum wipers. The Pontiac had a vacuum assist on the fuel pump wh

I also remember the double, or dual action fuel pumps of the late 40's, 50's and possibly early 60's. GM was very fond of them. They certainly were better than manifold vacuum directly. As I recall
