Original looking wiper blades


I've been frustrated for years with the multitude of ugly looking wiper blades they make for our old cars. Recently I stumbled across these. Some of you guys may know about them, maybe I'm the only guy who doesn't! They sure look go though, very much like original blades.

 I knew if you weren't aware of those, you'd like them!

I could only find them at Rock Auto. Other guys recognize the number but didn't have stock.

I can't remember the cost but I took the package picture to include the part number so it will be easy to check.

I would say 15" judging by the part number.

Appear to only be in 11", 15" and 18" on rockauto. Each size has a different type of mounting.
The good news is the 15" are the proper mounting for most of our 60's cars.
The 11" appear to fit early 50's models.

Bit pricy at $25+ each but nice to be able to get original style which look sooo much better

I got lucky and found some 66 NOS Trico 15" blades for my 65. But the satin finish is not correct for my year. Should be a polished finish.

I would certainly recommend these Classic blades. It's nice they make them.

wow - those are neat!!

I'm going to look them up.

Here I've been buying replacement rubber refill(?) blades when I have come across them.

Bummer.
It looks like none are currently made for my car... I guess it's a good thing I have been purchasing insert/refills as I have found them!
It looks like the number prefix is 33 for this "classic" line, and that the next two numbers are the inch length of the blade.
