1939 Plymouth P7 wiper motor conversion


Nick Nichols

Recommended Posts

I have a 1939 Plymouth P7 business coupe.  The wiper arm for the original motor is very flimsy.   The  wiper motor has a stud with a hole in it and the wiper arm slides through that stud and then its pushed downward and locks into place.  Problem is that it is SUPER flimsy.    Is there an adapter kit that can change the stud into a later type fitting where the arm is pushed down into a slotted fitting?    Below is my motor.

It would appear that you have the earlier, pre-'39 style of wiper motor. My '39 P8 had a wiper motor that had the round grooved type of wiper arm attachment. The '36 Fords and earlier used that "wire/bale" type of wiper arm, they were the pits' You should consider converting your wiper to an electric unit.
