Re: windshield washer glass bottle?
Well I havent seen a glass one in a while. They used to be on some of the cars I had that where from the 40s. But as far as 68 I wouldnt think so. Hey leave it on there kinda cool

. . . .
Here's one mounted in a 65 Impala and a close-up picture. The thread this came from said they were used until the mid 60's. . . . . |

Re: windshield washer glass bottle?
They were in most GM cars of the early-late 60's. Chevy, Buick, Olds Pontiac... I never saw one in a truck however. ??

Re: windshield washer glass bottle?
I've seen them in cars from the early 50s. I don't know about GM but Nash had aftermarket ones available in most dealers. I think they were Trico. You can still buy new ones from a place in England. I'd have to look to remember the name.

Re: windshield washer glass bottle?
Repro's are available too but pricey.
Whenever I needed one, I just got lucky in the junkyards. Corvairs are a good place to find them. (free tip of the day)
