Sometime prior to the year 2000, I installed a cheap, universal type window defroster for the rear window in my '55 Courier (which I had already converted to 12 volts). It was meant to mount on the rear package shelf of sedans, but I mounted mine sideways, just inside the doorjamb and modified the base so it could be aimed at the rear window.
This unit has two selections; fan only or fan and heat. So I also got a 1954 Ford 3-position selector switch to control it; fan-off-defrost.
I probably ordered it from J.C. Whitney & Co. Doubt it is still available, but I am sure somebody is offering a universal defroster.
