Thanks John, you are correct on the wipers being in the wrong location, but the car is a '37, when a previous owner did the Volare' swap they moved everything from one car to the other...that included the electric interval wipers, which they mounted at the cowl and filled the upper holes and deleted the windshield trim. It's kinda' a shame aesthetically, I prefer the overhead wiper look and the windshield trim, having said that, it's nice to have electric wipers. Someone put a lot of work into the swap. The front clip, grill and headlights on mine are all as pictured above.
I was really happy to find the forum here, there's a lot of great knowledge in the community.
