Windshield Washer

[Tom F OHIO]

On a 52 Customline does anyone know if it takes the red sea bag or the
glass bottle hook up for the windshield washer? Thank you....

This is the first reference I've seen for the "glass bottle" used for windshield washers. I bought a kit from LMC Truck that has everything EXCEPT the glass bottle/jar. It isn't a Mason or Ball jar. What brand/type jar is used?

Here’s a picture of one I took long ago in a pretty nice original car. I will go out by on the garage and take a picture of the one in my ‘53 Ranch Wagon.

The Merc's used the bottle. Never saw one in a Ford. Even my 54 Crestline Victoria used a bag

Here’s the one that my Ranch Wagon had from since I found it in 1989.

Forgot to add that my foot pump looks different from the new one in the ad. Mine looks a lot like a vacuum diaphragm on a distributor, with a small round pedal pad sticking thru the floor. The pad is about 1-1/8” in diameter with some shallow concentric circles on it. Mine was seized, and I found a NOS one at a V8 meet a number of years ago. Never got around to putting it on the car. I guess I need to find it and put on the car!
