67 "TRICO" peaked satin wiper blade holders

[Fred Y.]

Is anyone making these blade holders now a days ?? Or selling restored pairs. Hunting down a set that has TRICO only on the ends is getting tougher than it was in the past. The Trico with made in USA below are all over. I'm pretty sure I have a set of those as well. Appreciate any feed back.

Fred,

About 7 or 8 years ago I had several dozen 67 Trico wiper blades as well as many 63-65 Trico and 66 Trico and Anco wiper blades that I had collected in the 1980's from salvage yards and swap meets. Many of my 67 Trico wiper blades went to Pete (see link below). Pete may be able to help you.

Guys, Does this blade holder you are referencing have a flat spot on each end near the Trico name or only on one end? (The opposite end peaked all the way to the end)

Fred,
You asked for feed back. Make use when looking for wiper blade holders be it the Trico peaked as in '67 or the Trico flat polished/satin as in '65 & 66 you seek out one's for Corvette and not passenger car. The Trico passenger car have a higher arch to them and are quite noticeable next to the lower arch Trico correct for Corvette. I see plenty of Corvettes in the flight row with the incorrect passenger car holders that are most often never detected by judging. I'm sure now you will see more notice payed to them now.

Dear Gene & all other members ,thanks for all your input & help. I did finally get through to Pete last night. Super nice guy. He's gonna check his stock & get back to me shortly. Russ, the correct blade holders ( at least on the 5 that I have had judged) do indeed flatten on on ea end but for only about 1/3 of an inch. This is where the actual (shall I call them C clips ) are located for the ends of ea rubber blade to slip into & hold on. Of course there are two others in the center which grab the blade as well. Pls correct me if I'm wrong, but the short flats on the ends are only slightly noticeable.
