ok I see what you mean. Their website is not really complete, the thing we are missing is the p/n
I just called, the p/n for 15" is 33-150 (14" = 33-140 etc)
I checked Advance Auto Parts website and they do not stock it but they will order it
I also googled trico 33-150 with these results and lo and behold found this have a nice day!

My parts guy is calling his supplier right now. The wiper I need for my 67 Delta 88 is a Trico Classic 33-183. I tried to get a pair last week and they sent two 15 inch Trico Classic 33-150. He wanted 42.50 for the pair.

I found the Trico Classic 33-183 wiper blades at Advance Auto Parts for 7.88 each (on-line price). They don't ship to Canada so my wife is going to the store (in Detroit) Saturday to place an order. The blades should be in on Monday. After she visits the store, I'll have a firm price.
Craig: Would you like her to pick up a pair for you?

Quick, godaddy.com!!! I'm sure I could hold it for ransom for 10's of dollars, or a set of new blades. LOL

Whoa boys, hold on here for a minute!
I can't say that I'm trilled. These blades are not exactly like the 15" blades that the supplier sent my Windsor parts guy in error.
Maybe his blades were older stock. I don't care for the grey plastic connection part. I suppose I'm gonna have to try to paint this piece silver.

Sorry guys the ones I looked at looked exactly like the picture above. I hope that you are not as disappointed as I am.
At least the price isn't too bad and they do look better than what I have currently have. If you don't want these I will understand perfectly.
Let me know what you think.
All I can say to you other Olds Guys is this... Don't throw away your stainless steel wiper blades. Buy refills!

Read the message again. Like I said... I'm not happy. If you don't want them, I will understand. I looked closely at the connection piece...
It's grey plastic and it will fit, but it looks wrong, wrong, wrong. Why would a parts supplier, supplying classic car lovers, cheap-out on classic parts? Hmmm?
BTW... That last picture was of my original stainless steel wiper blade. I just shot it on a bad angle. It really is shiney.

I used Dupli-Color CHROME. I bought it at Canadian Tire. It's a quick drying enamel. It says... Ideal for Trim and Accessory Pieces. My local buddies call it Portuguese Chrome. We had a local guy (back in the day) that used it for everything.

I used my original wiper blade and bought refills for them at Canadian Tire. You can easily find them at most swap meets if you do not have original ones or I may have another set kicking around if you are interested.
I'll check my shed this morning to see...........
