The Ford Barn

My '38 sedan came with a worn out 9" wiper blade that looks to be of good original quality. I ordered a couple of 7 1/2" blades from Mac's Auto Parts which don't work with my wiper arm and are very cheap looking. I've included a picture of the Mac's blade along with my better 9" and view of arm. Does anyone know where I can get replacement blades of this type? All help welcomed and appreciated.

One of the ones sold for model A looks to fit your arm, also there was a little clip that fit into the blades in the other picture to make them fit the earlyier style arms ---and sometimes the end on your arm type came off to fit other blades ---there used to be a lot of little "bits" to adapt arms and blades

If the arm pictured, fits your car the blade supplied by Mac's should fit the arm. The tab on the top of the blade fits in the slot in the arm. The original Ford blades were the "cheep" style supplied by Mac's. maybe slightly different but the attachment to the arm was the same.
