Not bad, Bud..............but you overlook the fact that the 2-bow to 3-bow
happened some time before the change to the center wiper motor (that was for
the 1953 model year).

There was also some talk, I believe, of moving the driver's position to the
center for the same reason, but English drivers, in particular, complained
of the subsequent difficulty in selecting the correct gearshift
lever..........
