1949 Cadillac wiper washer bottle.

[Bill Bickle 15098]

Since I will be at Hershey and have yet to receive my Authenticity Manual, what is the correct windshield washer bottle unit that I should be looking for?   All I have are tubes coming out of the firewall into the engine compartment.

It's a square bottle which resembles a Mason jar, but it has a screw-on lid.  They were reproduced for a while in the '90s, but are no longer so and, as a result, are somewhat difficult to find.  Your Authenticity Manual, which has photos of the bottle, will be mailed tomorrow.

Bill.

I bought an nos W.bottle some years ago with the oem water transfer decal, which is unlike any of the reproductions on the market today. I'll post a pic when I get home this am. I also bought an Nos pump for it in the Cadillac box :<)

Oem #'s on bottom of jar are 5601. Bottle is 7 3/4" high x 4 3/4" square x cap neck/threads @ very top 3 3/4".

For Bill Bickle,

Joe Cutler 49caddymanemail addresses not permitted is currently advertising a ww bottle for sale.  Look in the Buy Sell section.

Jay:

Joe Cutler's ad is from December 6, 2009 but I know that he has many parts for 48-49  as advertised in the '49 Times the Newsletter Chapter. Perhaps, he still has the elusive square bottle.

[Jay Friedman]

Tito,

You may be right.  In any case, these bottles come up for sale from time to time on ebay, from Joe and elsewhere.

Folks,

I purchased on from a guy in Canada, not that long ago. Was a repo, but looks original. Was $50.00.

You might do a serarch on e-bay and see if he still has some in inventory.
