As a semi-professional courtesy - I will wait for 'Pantera928'  to guess (err, I mean) answer this question.😁

And the 'PanMan' is CORRECT once again!!!!!

That is because i have owned Corvettes and my friends Dad had a Rambler American. It had vacuum wipers and he ran string out of the wind wing to pull them back as they would only move one way.🤣

Well, I never owned even one Corvette but my neighbor (1950's) had the vacuum wipers - might as well not have any wipers at all almost!🤪

My first Stude was a 1947 Champion and every time you accelerated, the wipers would stop.🤣

So, do any interchange with the Avanti?

 

Well, the Ford  Falcon wiper arms definitely won't..They are the 'mirror image' of an Avanti wiper arm!

(I actually bought a pair at a flea market thinking I had 'scored'....until I got them home!!)

That’s too bad. Do you think the Avanti arm is a one use part?

It's hard to believe those arms are 'Avanti Only'...but I can't think of another vehicle that uses that style.
