My suspicion is that it is mounted on the frame of the car where the  
anticlimber is or was.   There is nothing but relatively thin-gauge  
sheet steel above the anticlimber and that would not  or probably  
would not support the weight of the plow.  (Picture trying to bolt  
the plow to the fender of your car and then pushing snow with it.)     
The anticlimber is bolted into the frame of the car and covers the  
bottom of the dasher sheets and the top of the skirts, which were  
welded to the frame at that point.   You may want to look for some  
detailed pictures to see if they might just not have removed the  
anticlimber and bolted the plow into the same holes, or perhaps added  
more holes into the frame.

I recall hearing comments that it didn't last long because it tended  
to derail.    Perhaps those who thought it was prone to derail were  
measuring this tendency against a Pressed Steel 1911 motor car  
weighing considerably more.

Make sense???
