    Welcome to the forum!

    As far as I know there are no reproductions of those flippers. Used ones and occasionally a NOS will turn up for sale. There are reproductions of the springs for them available if you find a used one that needs a rebuild. The vaccum wipers were standard on all cars in '53 with electric optional. Oddly, they used a different brand of motor for champions vs commanders but they will interchange. For 12v you can use a '56 or newer hawk motor.

      If the trip to the house wasn't too long, go back and hunt for that flipper. They are not that easy to find in good shape.
