Getting ready to order my CMC Ferrari 250 GTO, but a question for any experts:
All images of these cars shows wipers positioned to sweep in a direction based on which side of car driver is seated as car was built.
At least for those cars with two wiper arms installed.
Like the CMC model. But the CMC model has them facing opposite direction than all photos of real cars with same drivers position(left hand drive). Is this how the real car is that CMC used as modeled subject car?
Or are they wrong?

They are likely right for the car they modeled...........
The unfortunate thing is that they used as their template a 'restored' car that, thanks to the 'limited ' driving ability of its owner, crashed several times, including a few full roll overs.
The car was not repaired by the factory so this particular car has a final body shape that is unique.
The wipers were likely relocated from the 'factory' position somewhere along the line at the behest of the owner.

Thank you Frank. I uh.....like my models to be accurate. Now to decide
What the accuracy adheres to.....
Likely CMC won't do another body. So, ....I guess I make my decision and live with it.
Great info.
