Check out New Port Engineering if you want to convert to electric wipers.

Ditto! I have used Newport in 2 56 Fords. I would suggest adding the Adapter to use your original Wiper Knob. Extra Option.

I've used a Newport set up in three cars - my 48, 54 and 56 Bird. All work very well.

Rain-X window treatment helps greatly. Don't even really need to use the wipers as the water beads up and rolls off improving visibility. I use it on all my vehicles as well as headlights and outside mirrors.

If the existing Wipers do not work well it may be the Arms need replacing. The Spring Tension that keeps the Blades in Contact with Glass get tired over the Years.

What you mean electric with delay and everything?
I honestly don't know as I never saw the need for that kind of conversion due to products like Rain-X that exist.

Johnny... I had mismatched wiper blades on my 56 Victoria when I bought it. Since it was something you can't miss while driving it bugged me. Since no manufacturer back then made their own, either ANCO or Trico was used, I found 56 scrubrolt had the same length and would fit my arms. I live near Danchuk and took both my blades to them and matched one. Arms have a right and left but both blades are the same. Ford had different lengths by model but the ones I had were the same length just different makers... Now they match.
