I might be a bit of a tightwad, but the one listed on fleabay seems like it is a lot overpriced. I think with a little searching you can find a good one for much less. It does look like a nice clean unit though.

"RQA" is a well respected Stude seller on eBay. Further he states that the wiper being offered is NOS thus a pretty good bargain...

I once removed a 12v wiper motor from a 59 Lark, and installed in a 52 Commander without modification.

Having disassembled four Stude C bodies from 53-61 I believe that any of the later motors would fit, I could see no difference in mounting of the six volt vs 12 volt motor. My 53 coupe has a 12 V wiper motor from either a 58 or 59 Hawk and works fine (after cleaning and tweaking)

My six volt wiper motor went bad after 3 years running on 12 volts. Any bolt in 12 volt motors that will work? My car is 1955 Commander 4door sedan. Any help is welcome.

Wow! Running a 6 volt motor on 12 volts applies four times power to the poor little 6 volt motor. Get a 12 volt wiper motor.

bob1944, when we got our 55 from Robert Peterson, he included a 12 volt wiper assembly from a later car that fit right on ! Perhaps he or one of the other "techy" guys will chime in.
