This is a NOS Studebaker (Trico) windshield wiper jar in a box which says it was a part of AC-1413 for 1947 Studebakers.
I seem to remember they used this style jar up thru 1950, then it changed in '51.
Can anyone confirm this?

I had one of those in my 62 Gt Hawk.
I think it was part of the Australian content required on imported cars.

I'm kind of surprised they used a glass jar that late, Studebaker switched to a black plastic jar on the Larks in the 60's (not sure exactly when).Dan Peterson

Like I said it probably had more to do with the local content provisions than anything else.
In those days imported cars were required to have a certain percentage of locally sourced parts . This may have been one.Last edited by 63r2; 06-06-2016, 03:39 PM.Comment

The glass jars were still in use at least through '52, though the vacuum pump was under the pedal, rather than on top of the jar.Brad Johnson,
