Windshield wiper

While looking over the bones of my Centerdoor I’ve noticed that the windshield was never drilled for a wiper to be installed

I assume the car was built and sold without one

What gives?

I don't know about centerdoors, but they didn't start drilling holes until 1925 on open cars.

Thanks. I’ve also read somewhere that closed cars originally didn’t come with wipers until way after my car was built.

Yep, Ford was late to the 'accessory game', of course many aftermarket wipers for open and closed Fords were made too.

For the late '24- and the model year 1925, open car upper windshield frames were factory drilled for a wiper hole, and two mirror bracket holes.

The service bulletin mentions a dash light. I have that. But no holes for a rear view mirror either

I’d love to get my hands on an original Ford wiper and mirror
