Im looking to see if anyone has a opinion on who makes the best reproduction wiper arm. I have never really payed much attention to a original satin wiper arm in person to compare. I purchased a set of Daniel Carpenter arms earlier this year and couldn't bring myself to put them on the car. They looked "too Satin" , More like a silver/grey painted finish. From pictures I've seen the originals had more of a "metallic shine" to them than these do. Ive since put a NOS set of trico blades on and would possibly like to put the correct arms on although it will be hard to let go of my polished set..

The repro arms that are made most closely after the later 68-70 style. They just lumped in the 66 ,67 and early 68 style too. For most accurate arms it is best to find a nice original set.

FYI depending on when your car was built and where may determine that the NOS wiper blades you picture are too late for your car. There was a earlier satin style.
