Used to be able to buy aftermarket washer sytems like that too. I installed one in my 65 Mustang as it did not have the factory option either. It worked well. Just the rubber pump bulb on the floor and tubing to the resevoir and hood nozzles. It did not turn on the wipers automatically like the MB does. That is probably what I should do - disable the auto wiper function so that I can pump the doodad a few times and try to get fluid before the wipers start - or just install a modern aftermarket pump kit.

(Windshield washer, that is.) The only option she did order on the Falcon was the heater. Kind of glad she did get that one! No radio either. Yeah, baby, factory plate! Still, in fact.
