[DeTomaso] Pantera ice skating

I don't think the air deflectors do anything to prevent creep, in fact they probably worsen it, sticking out like a sail. They are designed to catch the air and push the blade into the screen for more efficient wiping, but considering our wiper motors are lethargic at best they likely just puts more strain on an already stressed motor.

My '73 Euro spec GTS (5186) has the early series 1 console with the single pod dash and the wipers park on the left.


I wish I had wipers like his with the little air deflector on the arms.  Mine move around (creep up) whenever a semi goes by in the opposite direction.

What a hoot!  Great way to learn how to drive any car in those conditions.  2 questions though: what sort of tires were on the car (had to have been something other than summer street tires), and looks as though it must have been an early car with a single-pod dash conversion as I'm not aware of any cars that had a single-pod and the left-sweeping wipers.  I have always wondered why when they switched to the right sweep, they couldn't have them lay down as nicely as the early cars.
