Looks like the windscreen wiper seems to be reversed :think:

I think this may be a Canadian sourced :think:

Left hand drive: Link to "en.wikipedia.org"

@rjluna...Canadian and American vehicles are left-hand drive..Didn't you mean right-hand drive like in Britain??

Yes, supcoach. Canadian do make both left and right hand drive vehicles for local and British domain.

Once upon a time (until the 1960s), "American" cars sold in the UK were made in Canada because the import duty for Canadian products was lower.

Makes sense as Canadians (with the exception of Quebec) still thought of themselves as British subjects.

@rjluna What I was trying to say to you earlier is that the car above is right-hand drive and you posted a link to a left-hand drive vehicle...

supcoach, I could not find right hand drive example in Wikimedia Common page :( However, I wanted to show an example of how the windscreen wiper appears in left hand drive version here.

RHD pics might be very rare, especially if they left factory in LHD and were converted in destination country (UK, ZA, Aus, NZ etc which often had officially approved conversions by specialists - not just a bloke in a lock-up garage - although numbers would have been very low).
