imported_v12lincoln Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Try Vintage Ford in sacramento, I got mine there allot cheaper than trying to get nice originals and you cant tell the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith L. Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I had this same problem. I thought the wiper arms would be the same as for Ford of the same year. Wrong. The Ford arms have a bend in them to clear the Ford windshield frame. The Ford wiper posts come straight out of the body below the windshield, so the designers put a small bend in the arm so the wiper blade will sit flush with the frame. Since the Lincoln has chrome wiper towers which clears the windshield frame they use a wiper arm without the bend in them. Also I believe the Ford arms are shorter. The Ford arms will work, Since they fits the posts but will sit awkward. I'm still looking for a straight pair. Are the ones from Sacromento straight? Best of luck.

JWalker Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 WiperMan.com, Ficken Wiper Service. He rebuilds trico wiper motors, and sells blades both NOS and repro. The repro blades look just like the originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peecher Posted December 20, 2003 Author Share Posted December 20, 2003 Hey, thanks for the heads up on the "wiperman". Vintage Ford and Bob Drake can't help us on the arms. The "wiperman" specializes in old systems and we might get lucky? I e-mailed them tonite. Dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
