just a quick question, which direction should the wiper park on a 35 master, toward the outside or toward the center. It only has one wiper

My old buddy, Push, researched the topic when he restored his '35 Coupe and we both remembered finding a reference but could not remember where. After looking thru most of the '35 literature that we had it was finally found.
According to the 1935 Master Passenger Car "Engineering Features" on page 42. "The windshield wiper provided as standard equipment at the driver's side is swung from the base of the windshield and sweeps thru an arc of 160(deg), forcing snow, rain or sleet to the bottom of the glass. In its travel, it cleans nearly all of the driver's windshield, providing clear vision thru the glass in inclement weather, It parks at the left of the driver, flat against the lower edge of the windshield and well out of his range of vision."
Now pictures in brochures, repair manuals show the wiper parked in both the center and left so the factories might not have been consistant. But at least there is one official Chevrolet reference that states where the wiper was parked.
How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!

In looking back at pictures for 1935 and 1936 I have also seen them parked on both sides....From 1937 and up they were always at the center.Porbably flutter less in the wind at high speed when in the center.
