What's up with the glass bottle in the engine bay?
There's a triangular glass bottle mounted under the hood, driver's side fender. research suggests it's a washer bottle "Kleer view"? But this car has another reservoir in the passenger side front, added I suspect.

It was a concentrate washer fluid. You put a bit in the washer bottle & filled it the rest of the way up with water.

It's in-op now, no line to it, just a solid metal cap. There is a 'normal" reservoir up in the passenger front corner. I assume that is a retro fit.

Back then, efficiency was just common sense. Why pay more to package,ship and store 95% water all over the country.. Green solution / carbon footprint anyone? Convenience won the day, and now we pay as much for a gallon of 'fluid' as a gallon of gas.

It was a two-part system... the reservoir in the front corner with the hose/line and the glass bottle on the fender. You fill the reservoir with water and then if needed, depending on the amount of protection from freezing you required, you measured out the concentrate and dumped it into the reservoir.

Got it, it's "manually" inputed from the bottle into the reservoir. What color was it? I think I'll put something in there. Bourbon?
