    Recently bought a 64 skylark. Opened the hood and found a glass bottle in a bracket attached to the driver side wheelwell in the engine compartment. It is about a pint or quart size glass bottle with a small metal twist-on top. It has no holes or hoses attached. It used to have a label but is unreadable now. I've asked a few old timers what it is for and they are unable to tell me. Wondering if anyone here knows what the bottle was originaly for. It does appear to have been there for the whole life of the car. Thanks. STeve

    The solution in the bottle was a concentrate that made one tank of windshield cleaner. The caps are reproduced as well. :pp Whatever you do, don't break it!
