Vacuum or electric. motor?

For vacuum the motors are the same all the way from 55 (2nd) to 59.
For electric the 55-57 motors use the same type of switch and cable to activate the motor. The 58-59 use a different switch that is not cable operated. It is possible to use a 55-57 electric wiper motor on a 58-59, as long as you keep the 55-57 switch or use the 55-59 cable operated switch from the vacuum motors.
Hope that clears it up.
