  • 1950 Champion Starlight Coupe is this a Vacuum Pump?

    This car was just on ebay and got bid up to $8100, which I thought should have met reserve since it has an automatic and a color change. It also has 51 taillights with Commander rims, and 51 bumper guards front and rear.
    Anyway I see something under the hood that I haven't seen before on a Studebaker, and I'm wondering if it isn't an electric vacuum pump for the wipers, and if so, was it a factory option?

    Looks like a vacuum pump to me. I have a couple of them and they do indeed help the wipers
