Topic: Identify w/s washer nozzle?

  Does anyone recognize this windshield washer nozzle assembly? What car or truck does it belong to?

The gentleman it came from says he took it off a flathead Ford vehicle many years ago, but can't remember what it was.

  Grant, Ford did offer an accessory windshield washer for '46 thru '48 but it had a nozzle for each section of windshield, not dual as your picture. I'm not so sure that what you picture is a Ford windshield cleaner. Wouldn't cowl vents be an issue?

  Good point. I agree that the design of this dual nozzle device probably would not be suitable for a vehicle with a cowl vent.

Maybe it is meant for '49 and later? Or truck?

Or perhaps this is an aftermarket item, and not a genuine FoMoCo part?

  Grant , I think 52-53 had a ww as an option but not sure if it was a double like you have or 2 single ones , could also be after market not sure. ken ct.

  I have a washer nozzle I took off a 51 woody,it looks something like a tall 1\2'' nut and has 2 holes in it

  It is most likely an aftermarket nozzle. The parts catalogs up to 53 show 2 nozzles are used.

  Thanks, everybody.

I'll look around carefully at the Bakersfield meet to see if any of the vehicles there have a windshield washer nozzle like this one.
