Hey guys...looking for the escutcheons and wiper arms to fit on my 1960 Coupe. I have the straight arm wipers and would like to get the cam-o style wipers.

Thanks

ps...have found NOS arms on eBay for $350 and each escutcheon $80each... was hoping someone local had them.

Sounds like someone removed the parts and didn't realise they had to be there.   The ones you have on there are probably off a Chevrolet.

You will have to get them from someone parting out a '59 or '60.

You need everything, including the retaining nuts, and wiper arms and blades.

I found that I had to replace the inserts when I was doing mine, as you can't purchase replacement insert holders, as the correct ones have the bend to wrap around the sides of the glass.
