Default Windshield wiper replacement-- Which ONE??

Hey, hope for some guidance and info-- What are options for replacing my non-original wiper arms/blades? I've seen "correct" replacements that are quite costly, and although I want to be close to the original look (current blades are not even close), I'm not sure that polished replacements for my '65 will be best. Have heard they glare pretty badly. Also, are refills readily available, and not too expensive? Any recommendations are appreciated, thanks!

Default Well....

I just ordered a set for my '64 cause mine has some marks (maybe vice grips?) on the base of them. Yes they are pricey! Didn't want to order them but wanted to fill my order up to a certain price to cover a returned item. The point to my post is I've got the old set available. I THINK they might be origional but it was just that some ******** marked them all up. While the marks can be seen if you look for them, I didn't notice it for a month when I bought the car. If you would like to talk about them send me a PM.

Bud.

On the blades , gm still carries a brushed ss blade assembly for @ 35.00 for the pair and I understand that either napa or one of the other large distributors of auto parts has a classic car line with a close replacement for reasonable money. As far as the arm goes I have notheing other than the originals with the adjusting screw are costly. Good luck Jeff
