This has come up again and again. The interesting question is why some of the very high end replicas are parking over to the driver's side. Foot pedals coming up from the bottom, slanting the radiator just right, yeah I can understand that they might be a bit of an engineering nuisance, but parking your wipers? C'mon, that should be pretty easy.
Edit: You can peruse some nice originals on Sundude's flickr page:
