Because the 55 Corvette & early 56 wiper motor is like no other Corvette motor you rarely see one for sale, but you can find a (first design) 55 truck motor that is the same but for the backing plate and cover part#.
You only need to exchange the back area with your bad 55 motor or any year C1 motor and you now have a 55 Corvette motor, like I said the front plate wont have the correct part# but some one now is reproing one having the correct # number or take a point hit .
Remember they made more trucks then 55 Corvettes so you should be able to find one on e-bay for less then $100.00 rather then buying a Corvette one for $300.00 and up which I think the dealer knows and does what you now know to do and can save money.
