Are you sure it's wired up correctly? My kit car uses a Ghia wiper motor assembly and I think the parking function is disabled if a certain wire isn't grounded. Been about a year since I messed with it so my memory might be a bit fuzzy. 
WOW! I looked at the pics of your car. I had an orange '70 Ghia "just like" yours. But mine was full of rust  and yours is BEAUTIFUL!

Thanks -- I'll look into it further -- it's wipers never parked since I got the car so I'll check the wiring. We never drive it in the rain anyhow as she is garaged. But I do want hte function to work, especially if it not too expensive.
Yeah, she is a sweet Ghia that I scored accidentally a few years ago!
Thanks so much for your help!

I'll try to look at the info I have tomorrow & see if I'm remembering correctly.

I was a bit off in what I remembered. The info I have is for '71 and later motors but I think it should be the same for the earlier ones. To park the wipers the motor requires power at terminal 53a after the switch is shut off. I looked at the wiring diagram in my Bentley manual and it doesn't show a terminal 53a  but I know that when I was replacing the wiper motor in my Kelmark it took one from a '69 or later Ghia and it had a terminal 53a on it.
