Hello ,
    I would like to replace my wiper blades on my 1970 Cadillac . I would like to get the original Blades and not a generic replacement . Are the original blades available ? And if so where can I purchase them ?

  Thank you ,
          Bill

NAPA has their 'classic' line...they're actually quite nice...I've installed them on several cars in the collection.

You can buy refills online. No need to change the whole blade.

    Hello Gary ,
         I am not familiar with the NAPA blades . Do they look just like Trico ?

Hello Bryan ,
        I meant to say the refills . About 5 years ago I purchased a set for my 57 Biarritz from the wiperman  as I recall they came in the original box . I ordered a set today from the wiperman as spares . Trico 18 inch  they were a 20 Dollars a refill . I hope they come in the original Box .
