Was there only a manual single arm type for the tourer. Can anyone tell me where I can find what it looked like so I can fabricate a copy?

The 1925 Touring and Roadster did not have windshield wipers or a rear view mirror. Any wiper or miror on one of these cars is an aftermarket accessory. If you want one of these items you can visit your favorite F-O-R-D parts supplier.

Thank you for that Mr Antique, but how on earth were they meant to see where they were going not to mention where they have already been. Is sounds like anything goes as far as fabricating up a wiper, was aluminium used at all on Chevys back then or should I just stick to steel? Thank you in advance.

You didn't need a wiper because you were driving so slow to keep the water from streaming in around the windshield and sides. You didn't need a rearview mirror because in those days there wasn't anyone behind you to see. Usually you had the top down and could see in all directions easily anyway.
