I am not having a lot of luck with my new toy – in addition to having a missing vacuum antenna I need a Wiper vacuum switch which of course is unique to Continental – does anyone have a vacuum wiper switch for a 1948 Lincoln Continental Coupe that they would be willing to part with? Thanks Harry

While there has been lots of stuff on eBay recently - I have been buying some of it - there have been no vacumm wiper switches and the cheapest one that I have been offered by a vendor is $125.00! Harry

Thanks Wes – is there a six-volt electrical wiper system that will fit the 48 Continental Coupe without a bunch of modifying? I thought that vacuum tank under the fender is suppose to keep the wipers going while at low vacuum? I want this car to use not to show – but I want it to stay original as much as possible BUT make-sense modifications will occur and if I can find a proper electrical wiper system then I will put it in. Thanks Harry

I use a 12 volt antenna and it works just fine on 6 volts, about as slow as the vacuum one did, I also changed my vacuum wiper motor to electric with a 6 volt motor from vintage ford, it was for a 48 ford and fit right in, had to madify the pivots a little to get the wipers to sweep like the vacuum ones did. If you still have your vacuum motor try putting 2-3 drops of gear oil in the hole and move the arm back and forth for about 20-30 strokes, it will work and works good, Ive done it to 2 of my cars and they still work after 8 years.
