Looking for a set of reproduction wiper arms (chrome) for my 1966 Plymouth Belvedere.

Thanks!

I was looking for a restored or reproduction arm. The chrome on mine is starting to show spiderwebs in it.

Wasn't sure if the arms could be rechromed, since they are hinged?

The base that fits on the post, is pot metal that is chrome plated. Mine spider webed just like you described. My chrome plater could not plate them due to the hinge. We sanded the "webbing" out and polished them and they look great. A lot of work but worth it on a car as detailed as yours.

Anyone have a photo of what they look like?

NAPA sells a "Classic" wiper blade assembly that I know is very close to the '68 - '70 style but I don't know what was on your '66 ?

Thanks EL5! Thats exactly what I am looking for.

Hemi,
I appreciate the polishing suggestion. I will give it a try if I cannot find a set soon.

I am surprised that no one is making a repro set, with as many cars that use them.
