66 Trico wipers correct for 10,500 Ser No.

[John H.]

I am searching for the correct wiper arms for my 66. I am being told that there are three types of arms used in 66.

1. Shiny 63-early 66

2. Satin flat blade 66 sometime?

3. satin rounded top late 66 on.

I should have the satin blades as my satin arms are original, but I would like to get the correct blades for the serial number.

Thanks.

John

John, From what I've seen and read I believe your car should have the flat satin blade. The polished blade and arm was for very early cars and the peaked blade was for late in the model year. You should check the Judging Manual. I'll also mention that one car we judged at the Boston regional had a polished blade on a satin arm. If I remember correctly the car was made before midyear. Hope this helps. Mark

John, My late (21,299 - May) '66 coupe has what I believe is an original passenger side arm and blade. It is a satin arm, very peaked satin blade.

I have a mongrel replacement arm and flat blade which was installed at some point on the driver's side. I am trying to find a matching arm and blade for the driver's side. Anyone know a good place to look for this? -- Larry
