Up here in Oregon we've entered the time of year when you never leave the house without your sunglasses and a rain coat. You occasionally even need them at the same time! Hence why a Pre-A coupe for me, plus I really-really like coupes.
I noticed that on the split window P-cars and the Pre-A cars through '54 the wipers are parked pointed to the outside on both sides, away from the V in the center of the windshield. Then when they brought in the '55 Continental all the pictures I can find show both wipers parked to the drivers side with the passenger side wiper parked across the V in the windshield. That seems so dopey that I suspect an obscure DOT rule was responsible. Or maybe Max Hoffman got involved for reasons we'll never know. But to paraphrase the President of Stanistan, build yours how you like it! No fussy little guy in a straw boater and a clipboard is gonna be climbing under it anyway.
