Re: Need pair of 1941-47 Clipper 11-inch wiper blades

The wiper gods at Ficken (631-587-3332 for those of you without 1941-47 Clippers) unable to help, told me that in the '40s, only some Packards and Chryslers used electric wiper motors, that these were "high end" in the day, and that since this was such a small market, no one's bothered to reproduce the 11-inch blades we need for our 1941-47 Clippers.

Has anyone done so lately, is there some reasonable source? What have the rest of y'all done? I don't drive this spoilt rotten garage queen in the rain, but it would be nice to have the right blades on my original arms.

Of course, weight is the enemy...
